ACCESS TO ABORTIONS Ken Picard wrote an excellent article about access to abortion in Vermont [“Access Denied?” April 27]. By sharing with us the stories he heard, he puts the focus of discussions about abortion where it belongs: on the young girls, women and their partners who are directly affected by limits of access.

Recently, I heard a panel discussion about abortion. The panel included members of six Vermont organizations and, I believe, the “Dan” in Picard’s article. I learned that in our country only three physicians perform late-term abortions; only 500 hospitals nationwide offer total access to health care, which includes the legal medical procedure of abortion.

None is in Vermont.

Unless there is a grave threat to a woman’s health, even its biggest hospital, Fletcher Allen, will not perform “elective” abortions, even in cases of rape, with or without the added trauma of incest.

Medical schools do not teach abortion procedures. In some places, as in UVM’s school, they are taught as an elective; the students learn from practitioners at Planned Parenthood. Medical Students for Choice wants the class to become mandatory.

Planned Parenthood’s essential health services are limited by the calendar and by complications of a pregnancy requiring a hospital’s surgical unit.

In every hospital and clinic, there need to be physicians and O.R. staff to provide abortions. It is frightening and shameful that in our democracy, exercising the legal, medical right to have or perform abortions can lead to violence or to a fear that results in a medical facility’s self-censoring denial of abortion access.

CHOICE WORDS I want to thank you for reporting on a subject that is far more newsworthy and urgent than whatever the mainstream press is serving up as front-page spectacle-of-theweek. (Do we all need to be kept apprised of a Georgia bride who got cold feet?)

It is certainly telling and sad that the case for women’s bodily autonomy can nowadays only be made by citing extreme examples of tragedy and heartbreak [“Abortion Denied?” April 27]. I agree that such cases, as noted in your article, should arouse our outrage and attention. But in order for a woman to be truly free, equal and in charge of her own life, she alone must hold the power to evaluate and decide — without shame or coercion — whether to proceed from fertilized egg and on to and through pregnancy and childbirth. We need to bring the conversation back to addressing the rights of women and the need to have these proce-

dures readily available to all of us — on demand and without apology or explanation.

SONG CYCLE In his recent tale “Eating the Cookie,” [“Hackie,” May 4], Jernigan Pontiac makes the symbolic point of how song lyrics become an incompletely understood but much-used part of our culture, quoting the young Deadhead’s use of the phrase “Goin’ where the weather suits my clothes.” Jernigan points out that the phrase is “from an even older song” — “Everybody’s Talkin’ at Me,” written by Fred Neil.

Actually, the lyric goes back much further than that. Fred was referencing Woody Guthrie’s use of the phrase in his Dust Bowl Ballads. Since the Dead often played Woody’s song, “Goin’ Down That Road Feelin’ Bad,” which contained the phrase, it’s likely that the young Deadhead heard it from them . . . one step away from Woody, bypassing the ’68 pop hit entirely.

Of course, Woody himself was referencing a much older blues lyric, “Goin’ down South where the weather suits my clothes.”

Nothing gets thrown away in music — it just gets recycled.

SCENTS OF COMMUNITY Kenneth Cleaver’s Seven Days column on February 23 [“Consumer Correspondent”] regarding the relationship between his dates and Hooters excursions has sparked my interest in another interesting association. I believe our senses have a direct correlation with the intimacy of our personal relationships. It seems the more senses we use with another person, the closer our relationship with that person becomes. Sex is probably the ultimate in sensory overload, and arguably the most intimate of our contacts. There are exceptions; we

have “meaningless” one-night stands. But, these escapades create vivid memories, don’t they?

Let’s take this idea a step further and consider our non-romantic relationships. Are they still better with increased sensory input, such as face-to-face interaction? I think so. For example, I enjoy talking with my grocery store shelf stocker, produce person and check-out chick/dude. Not to mention the fascinating things I learn from random friendly conversations with all sorts of people around town.

So I urge you to think about

using your senses the next time you walk down the street with an electronic device attached to your ear(s). (We’ve all done it at some point.) Without it you may find interaction with people, even strangers, more pleasurable than the electronic noises in your ears.

It is spring, after all, so stop, smell the roses, and lick your neighbor.

Megan O’Melia BURLINGTON

MANUFACTURED PROBLEM The article [“Local Matters,” May 4] states “Incidents of mastitis have grown apace with technolog-

ical advances.” The so-called “advance” of biotech-creation, rBGH is a leading cause of this growth. Now, we have biotech coming to the rescue with a genetically engineered cow to “solve” a problem the same industry has inflamed.

For the over-supply of milk it has fostered, maybe the biotech industry also has an answer that’s better than the taxpayer subsidies we’re doling out, and depressed milk prices farmers receive. I’m sure the biotech giants will trot out more genetic fabrications; weapons for the farmers in their desperate economic battles against their neighbors in this race to the bottom.

HEALTH-CARE CRISIS It’s mind-boggling that some people in this state say there’s no health-care crisis because “only” one out of 10 Vermonters has no health insurance at all.

What about the other 15 percent who have policies that don’t actually cover needed services, or impose co-pays and deductibles so high people would go broke if they ever actually had to use them? What about those of us who still do have coverage, but worry every year that this will be the year the annual price hike causes our employer to drop it?

Thank heaven the Vermont House has put a real solution on the table. A state-funded universal health-care system is the right way to go. It’s not a radical notion; rather, it’s the reason none of the other modern democracies have the financial and fairness problems we do with health care.

I’m grateful that some legislators are willing to stick their necks out and propose bold solutions.

Now if our other leaders would just get their heads out of the sand.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Ambassador Vallee!

I

t’s always a delight to see a local boy make good, and it’s even better when the dude is a regular character in a certain weekly political column!

Ladies and gentleman, President George W. Bush has, in his infinite wisdom, nominated one of Vermont’s most colorful, articulate and wealthy Republicans — our own Skip Vallee, a.k.a. Gasoline Vallee — to be the next United States Ambassador to Slovakia!

No doubt, some will paint the Skipster’s appointment as further proof of our president’s insanity in the foreign-policy arena.

Slovakia is, after all, in the center of a historically turbulent part of Eastern Europe.

It’s bordered by the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary and Austria.

The ambassador’s residence in Bratislava, on the banks of the once Blue Danube River, is just 40 miles downstream from Vienna, Austria.

Perfect spot for a native Vermonter who built up the largest gas-station chain in the Green Mountains, eh?

At last count, Mr. Vallee owns 27 gas stations (including the recently purchased Spillane’s on Williston Road, across from the Sheraton.) A dozen of them operate as Maplefields mini-marts, specializing in cleanliness and friendliness. There are always fresh flowers in the restrooms.

Regular readers are familiar with Gasoline Vallee’s political history. Skip’s an interesting and entertaining combination of wit, wisdom and wealth.

After graduation in 1983, the Williams College hockey player sought an entry-level position with Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy. He didn’t get it. Instead, the post went to another young Vermont graduate named Luke Albee.

Albee rose through the ranks to become St. Patrick’s chief of staff. He recently resigned to join a prominent Washington lobbying/PR firm.

Vallee ended up getting an internship with Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Stafford, and he’s been a Republican ever since. Last week it finally paid off.

Unlike Albee, Vallee returned to Vermont in the 1980s, settled down, married and took over the family fuel business.

R.L. Vallee tanker trucks are a fixture on the highways of northern Vermont. In the mid-1990s, Skip started popping up in GOP political circles. He was, for example, a strong supporter of Ruthless Ruth Dwyer in her two losing contests against Howard Dean.

In his only race for elective office, in 2000, Gasoline Vallee spent a record $134,000 — at least $100,000 more than any of his rivals — while losing his quest for one of the six Chittenden County State Senate seats. He then became Vermont’s rep on the Republican National Committee.

But behind the scene, Gasoline Vallee demonstrated the one talent above all that won him the ambassadorship — Skip raised a ton of campaign cash for George W. Bush and the Republican Party.

In 2000, Vermont’s gift to Slovakia raised more than $100,000 for Dubya’s campaign, and more than $200,000 in 2004, making him one of the elite — a Bush Ranger!

Skip and his lovely wife Denise Vallee have also donated a ton of their own money to the Bush cause. In the 2004 cycle, the Vallees contributed at least $190,000 in personal funds to Bush and the GOP. Your gasoline dollars at work, eh?

Unlike Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, who leaked his ambassador quest and lost out, Vallee kept his mouth shut. The first word of the appointment came with the official White House announcement.

This week, the ambassador-to-be is in D.C. getting trained by the State Department for the task ahead.

Skip informed us via Blackberry that he won’t be doing interviews prior to confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

“I am in seminars the next couple weeks,” wrote Skip. “I would be honored to serve this country and president if confirmed.”

Hello, Bratislava, the Vermont Gas Man cometh!

Political Briefs — Looks like former state senator and party chairman Scudder Parker plans to be the Democrat’s candidate for governor in 2006. Scudder says only, “I’m thinking about it.”

We say, he’s in!

And Major Gen. Martha Rainville came out of the closet last week as both a Republican and a candidate for the U.S. House. Insiders say she had her sights set on the Senate, but IDX gazillionaire Ritchie Tarrant was not going to get out of her way.

Gen. Rainville says she’s a “Jim Douglas-style Republican.”

Good at the ceremonial stuff like ribbon-cuttings, no doubt.

But this week Mad Martha says she may well campaign in uniform. No need to resign from the Vermont Guard. In fact, she told the Rutland Herald on Monday that she thinks she can both run for and serve in Congress while also serving as Guard commander.

What?

Some are questioning Rookie Rainville’s political sanity. But, hey, there is a precedent — Spain’s Generalissimo Francisco Franco!

Unfortunately, Generalissimo Rainville was not available for comment on Tuesday.

Campaign Flashback — The restaurant tables are back out on the bricks on the Church Street Marketplace. Spring is finally in the air. And occupying one of those tables outside The Red Onion on Monday were two women from Howard Dean’s past: Kate O’Connor and Zephyr Teachout.

Ah, the memories!

Kate was Dean’s longest-serving aide.

And she stuck to him like glue on the campaign trail. Zephyr was one of the stars of the dynamic Dean Campaign inner circle that tapped the Internet like it had never been tapped before.

Ms. O’Connor is back living in beautiful Winooski. No details on current employment. Ms. Teachout, recently rumored to be considering a bid for INSIDE TRACK >> 18A

A New Wells House in Waterbury Two and a half years after a fire gutted a historic 19th-century house in downtown Waterbury, the old structure met its demise last week, as a wrecking crew brought down nearly all of what remained of the original building. Its demolition marks the end of a two-year battle to save the historic house, which once belonged to Vermont’s most famous Civil War hero. But its new developers say that the antebellum house will rise again.

Today, little remains of the original structure other than its front door and columns, a small amount of brickwork and an engraved granite plaque. The house, which was built in 1850 and was once listed in the National Register of Historic Places, was the birthplace and longtime home of William Wells, Vermont’s most prominent Civil War hero. Wells was born and raised in Waterbury, enlisted as a private in the First Vermont Cavalry, and later rose to the rank of general. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his exploits on the battle of Gettysburg, where a statue of him now stands. A similar statue in Burlington’s Battery Park commemorates Wells’ military exploits, as does a plaque in the Vermont Statehouse.

In recent years, the building earned a less favorable reputation as a seedy inn for transients and low-income residents. Between 1989 and December 2002, when it was gutted by a fire, the building was known as the

Gateway Motel, an establishment many Waterbury residents considered an eyesore and a drain on village resources. Over the years, the Waterbury police fielded numerous complaints about the inn, and long suspected it of housing a local drug ring. The building was also an ongoing headache for state inspectors, who received numerous complaints from residents over the years and repeatedly cited its owners for fire-code violations.

Not surprisingly, many local residents weren’t sorry to see the motel go. But some of those who were familiar with the building’s place in Vermont history tried to save it from the wrecking ball — or at least secure the property for some beneficial civic project. After the property was put on the auction block last year, the Village of Waterbury joined with Housing Vermont, a nonprofit affordable-housing organization, and scraped together $428,000 to bid on the property, with the possible goal of restoring the building and using it as a town library, municipal offices, affordable housing and/or some commercial venture. But at auction, the coalition was very quickly outbid, and the land was eventually sold to South Burlington businessman Irving Saffran for $525,000.

“Obviously, it was a disappointment to see the historical structure go, but it’s no surprise given the condition it was in and the amount of time it was exposed to the

<localmatters> Creating Vermont’s Latino Culture Most Americans view Cinco de Mayo — May 5 — as a sort of Latin version of St. Patrick’s Day, a good excuse for a celebration, some salsa music, maybe a margarita or two. Last week, a local rock station played The Gipsy Kings singing a mostly Spanish version of the classic Eagles tune “Hotel California.” “Happy Cinco de Mayo” the DJ reminded his listeners. (Never mind that The Gipsy Kings are from Spain and Cinco de Mayo commemorates an 1862 Mexican victory over the French.) And at Higher Ground, a crowd strutted its stuff on the dance floor at Friday night’s “Latin Dance Party.”

It was a diverse group. College-aged kids mixed with older folks in their fifties and sixties. Some people were well-dressed — high heels, slinky dresses, neat sports coats.

run, there will be a consensus for us to be powerful voice in Vermont.”

As Tijerina points out, it’s complicated preserving a “Latino” culture, and even more difficult to figure out exactly what that culture is. After all, Latin America isn’t one country but many nations covering a large region of the globe. And while most Latin Americans may share a common language, individual differences — from country to country, and among various classes and races within each country — vary tremendously.

The Latino community in Burlington is no different, says Tijerina. Latin Americans living here include academics from South America, undocumented laborers on construction sites and dairy farms, office workers, au pairs, people from the Caribbean — and the list goes on.

Latin Americans living here include academics from South America, undocumented laborers on construction sites and dairy farms, office workers, au pairs, people from the Caribbean — and the list goes on.

Others wore overalls and tie-dyes. Most of the dancers seemed to be happy keeping in time to the music. But not Luis Tijerina, a sharply dressed Mexican-American in his early fifties. Tijerina is a local artist, writer, scholar of military history and one of the principal organizers of the nascent Burlington Latino Organization.

On Friday night Tijerina was focused on the dance’s implications for the future of Vermont’s quickly growing Latino community — now the state’s largest minority, according to one recent estimate. For him and other Latinos, finding a niche within Vermont’s Anglo majority has been a challenge.

The goal of the BLO “is to promote a social, cultural and political consciousness in Vermont about the Latino community and what it represents,” says Tijerina, who’s lived in Vermont for the last 13 years. “I recognize the challenges and difficulties that exist among Latinos in terms of class, social and cultural divisions. But I feel that in the long

The idea behind the BLO is to address at least some of the common needs faced by everyone in the Latino community, from offering help learning English and finding work to getting health insurance. Tijerina admits that none of these goals will be easy.

He would also like to see the BLO eventually gain a foothold in city and statewide politics, though that’s still a ways down the road.

For now, however, Tijerina and the 20 or so other members of the BLO are taking things slowly, focusing on one meeting at a time. Just last month, for example, the group ratified a mission statement. Participants agreed the BLO will work “to create a Latino community that promotes and provides a social and cultural Latino environment, and be a voice of common ground in discussion, friendship and support.”

It’s an ambitious starting point. How successful the BLO will be in defining a single Latino voice remains very much an open question.

elements,” says Waterbury Town Selectboard member Tom Stevens, who’d tried to save the house. “But the sincere hope is that the current owners will provide downtown Waterbury with a building that honors that which was there.”

Bill Hannon is the owner of Station Lumber and Building Supplies and project manager on the site’s reconstruction.

Hannon says his goal was to preserve much more of the original building than they did.

However, after the building suffered significant water damage in the fire, as well as exposure to rain and snow — a legal morass kept work at a standstill for more than two years. Most of the original building had to be scrapped.

Nevertheless, Hannon says that the new plans are to use sketches and historic photos to rebuild the Wells House so that it looks “almost identical” to the original house. The new building may be the possible site of a restaurant, with new office space and apartments in neighboring buildings. Another existing structure on the land will be torn down soon and replaced by new townhouses. “Basically, the structure is going to look very much like it did before,” says Hannon, “only prettier.”

But the property could change hands yet again. It’s listed for sale at $1.5 million.

Games People Play After the Army paid $5 million for a video game to teach soldiers about urban warfare, critics complained that it is at best a mediocre training tool. Lt. Col. Jim Riley, chief of tactics at the Army’s infantry school at Fort Benning, Georgia, told the St. Petersburg Times that his school rarely uses the game because it isn’t realistic enough. The game, “Full Spectrum Warrior,” resulted from a $45 million research partnership between the Army and entertainment companies.

The companies agreed to create sophisticated training aids for soldiers in return for permission to sell consumer versions.

Drumming Home Their Point To recover 50 million rupees ($1.15 million) in overdue property taxes, officials in Rajahmundy, India, hired 20 groups of drummers to bang away outside the homes of delinquent residents. “They put up a spectacle outside the houses of defaulters, draw them out and explain their dues to them and the need to clear it at the earliest,” municipal commissioner T.S.R. Anjaneyulu said. “They don’t stop until people agree to clear the dues.” In the first week, the tactic collected 18 percent of the backlog.

at Sony Pictures Imageworks, one of the companies, said that the designers cut corners on the Army’s training video because “they wanted to make money on the commercial version.” The Times reported that internal Sony documents support Paquette’s view.

Sony announced that players of its Internet multiplayer game “Everquest II” can order pizza delivery while playing.

Typing the command “/pizza” leads to the Pizza Hut website. “The goal for the future is to eventually let more people do things like this,” Chris Kramer of Sony Online Entertainment said, explaining that players might soon be able to order books and DVDs while playing. Noting that the game doesn’t pause while ordering, however, Kramer cautioned, “You wouldn’t want to order pizza in the thick of combat.”

Justice Alice Robie Resnick, 65, of Toledo, for suspicion of drunken driving, she admitted having “something to drink,” according to police videotapes, but assured the officer that she could drive safely. The tapes show Resnick, whose blood-alcohol content registered almost three times the legal limit, repeatedly asking to be let go, citing her rulings in drunk-driving cases. “My God, you know I decide all these cases in your favor,” she said. “And my golly, look what you’re doing to me.”

Equality Follies Complaining that female players who dress and act like men are giving soccer a bad name, the head of the women’s committee of the South African Football Association (SAFA) announced that the players will be given

tighter T-shirts in an effort to attract sponsors for a 2007 World Cup bid.

“Obviously they can’t wear skirts on the pitch,” Ria Ledwaba said, “but they will be given outfits made for women, with female shirts that are shaped for breasts.”

SAFA will also conduct etiquette workshops to turn the players into “national assets,” Ledwaba said, pointing out, “There are mothers out there who won’t let their daughters play football because they think they will start acting like boys.”

Great Escape Jeffrey Allen Manchester, 33, was four years into a 45year sentence for robbery when he escaped from North Carolina’s “escape-proof” Brown Creek Correctional Institute by clinging to the underside of a delivery truck. He eluded authorities for six months, posing as a church volunteer who told his new girlfriend and the congregation that he had a secret government job.

At night, he hid inside a Toys “R” Us store. When the store became too crowded at Christmas, he made a secret passageway to an adjoining vacant store and built a 4-by-10-foot cubicle under a stairwell.

Using a stolen gun, Manchester tried to rob the toy store, but two employees slipped out, forcing him to flee through his secret door and leading police to his hideaway and identity. They enlisted the girlfriend, Leigh Wainscott, to invite Manchester to her home, then arrested him.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Sgt. Katherine Scheimreif said Manchester’s big mistake was “going back for the girl one last time.” After his capture, his mother said he admitted, “Mom, I kind of lost focus.”

Long Gone But Not Forgotten Police in Itami, Japan, found the mummified body of a 107-year-old man at his house lying face down in bed wearing a clean kimono. Alerted by his nephew, investigators said that Kyujiro Kaneoka, who lived with his three children in the house, had been dead for five to 10 years.

An official said that the city was considering asking them to return gifts they had received since 1999 as a token of the man’s longevity. “Every year we gave the family 30,000 yen ($288) and a cashmere blanket worth 20,000 yen,” the official said. “Although we requested a meeting with him directly, the family always turned it down, saying he was too weak and bed-ridden.”

The Name Game Medical student Anders Mjelle, 22, took advantage of Norway’s newly relaxed naming laws to add “Batman” to his legal name. He told the newspaper Nordlys that the idea came to him while he was practicing his signature during a prescription class. “It just wasn’t as cool as doctor signatures usually are,” he said. “So I tried signing with the name of my old hero of heroes, Batman.

That was much better.” He explained to the Norwegian Registration Office that it was an old family name, pronounced “boatman.” He said he didn’t think the name would hinder his success as a physician since he aspires to be a pediatrician and believes the name will appeal to his young patients. 쩾

Burlington has not been kind to the Vermont Arts Council’s 40th-anniversary touring show, featuring 27 of the state’s finest artists. After a March run at the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier, “Art of Achievement” was to hang at the Phoenix Gallery — which suddenly and unexpectedly closed. The VAC scrambled for a new venue and found The Gallerie@Opaline. But then VAC Communications Director Andrea Stander learned that the Opaline Restaurant would not be able to host an April 22 dinner honoring former Gov. Phil Hoff. With just a day’s notice, the VAC moved the event to the accommodating Wyndham Hotel. Now, she says, due to further snafus, the VAC is renting the Lawson Lane venue themselves. And staffing it. All of which means that visiting hours have been changed, and the Council is looking for “qualified volunteers” to gallery-sit. If interested, contact Stander at 828-5422 or astander@vermontartscouncil.org. The rest of you, catch the show Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., or by appointment before it heads to Bennington — surely with great relief — May 30.

Friday Coffeeblogging

It's a beautiful, sunny spring day, and I'm perched on the burgundy sofa in the back of the dimly lit Radio Bean Coffeehouse, wearing a pair of headphones (and posting via free wi-fi). I'm sitting in on a Friday Coffeeblogging podcast with Vermont bloggers Bill Simmon, NTodd Pritsky, Greg Giordano, aka flameape, Matt G. Paradise, and Jesse Krembs, aka Agent X. They've been meeting here every Friday afternoon for a month, recording their conversations and posting them on the internet.

Friday Coffeeblogging pretty much sounds like your average radio morning show...a radio show featuring incredibly geeky guys talking about RAM, early adopters, Star Wars, and the Fischer-Pry curve.

Typical banter: "That's nerdtastic, Todd."

Podcasts are relatively new. Talking about this new medium after the show, NTodd says he first heard the term podcasting last summer.

They're like radio broadcasts, only you won't hear them on the radio.

You can find them online, and download them onto your computer, or your iPod. Hence the name. Says NTodd, "It's a lot like the Tivo approach. It's like, 'I can listen to this when I want.'" [read more online]

Springtime in Paris is heavenly, but the place is still pretty nice even in November. That’s when Karen Kane, the Cambridge-based proprietor of Paris

By Design, plans to lead a group of women artists to the City of Light. The weeklong tour will include visits to galleries, museums and other art-related locales, hanging out with Parisian women artists, and a daily salon for discussion.

Kane, an avid francophile, established Paris By Design three and a half years ago to create trips for individuals or families, customized to their particular interests. Since a mention in The New York Times last December, she says, “The phone has been ringing off the hook.”

Over the last year Kane has been working with women in the arts: Last fall she created a tour for a California dance troupe; this spring she accompanied Burlington jazz-blues singer Jenni Johnson to Paris “to help her break in there.”

A unique aspect of the womenartists’ tour, which Kane is calling “Paris for the Senses,” is that meetings actually start in June and continue after the trip, so that artists can set goals for the experience, then talk about it with their new friends afterwards. If all that makes you say oui, oui, contact Kane — by early June — at 849-9707 or visit http://www.parisbydesign.com.

Both Fugard plays, set in apartheid times, “have to do with the abuse of authority,” says Blachly.

Local actors can audition at Unadilla, though Blachly is known to go almost anywhere for tryouts. Heads up, black male actors, if you’re out there . . . For more info, directions and schedule, visit http://www.unadilla.org.

hen it comes to Athol Fugard’s powerfully sociopolitical plays, color is relevant.

This summer Bill Blachly, director of Unadilla Theatre, plans to stage two of the South African playwright’s works, Master Harold... and the Boys and The Island. Both, set in apartheid times, “have to do with the abuse of authority,” says Blachly. “I thought it would be good to do them at this time for some reason.”

Problem is, he’s having trouble finding any black actors. “They would be African-American, preferably,” Blachly says. Of course, ideally they’d be South African, but . . . this is Vermont.

Candidates also must have some acting experience and be 25 to 40 years old, and male.

An ad in Backstage magazine has generated resumés from half a dozen New York actors, but no one has signed on yet. Anyway, Blachly says he’d love to find someone local. Equity and non-Equity actors are welcome, and the pay, he says, is “Boston Equity scale for small theaters.”

The 22-year-old Unadilla typically presents six plays in repertoire throughout the summer. Actors from “away” can stay in an apartment at the former farm — an isolated, pastoral oasis deep in the East Calais woods. For actors escaping the city heat, performing at Unadilla has always meant a working vacation. The 2005 season starts on June 29, with the Fugard plays launching July 2.

Other productions this year: This Is Our Youth, by New York playwright and screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan, which follows several days in the lives of three white, well-to-do, directionless twentysomethings in Reagan’s America.

Waiting for the Parade, by Albertabased playwright John Murrell. “It’s about five women in Calgary during World War II whose husbands have all gone off to fight,” says Blachly, noting the similarity to the Vermonters whose National Guard spouses have been sent to Iraq.

Not About Heroes, by Scotsman Stephen MacDonald, is based on the true story of poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, whose friendship developed while both were committed to a psychiatric hospital for opposing the First World War. Do I detect a theme here?

Leave it to Gilbert & Sullivan to provide comic relief. This year Blachly chose Princess Ida, in which a smitten fellow, dressed in drag, scales the walls of a women’s university to find and win over his beloved.

o, Jennifer Wilbanks, the runaway bride, still wants to get married. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that for news? If the police had escorted me from Albuquerque back to Georgia, under the full glare of the media and with a striped towel over my head, I might want to get married, too. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on it.

The best comment Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard so far about Ms. Wilbanks came in a letter to C-SPAN last week, when a desperate (married) woman wrote in to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had the courage to blow off my wedding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice!â&#x20AC;?

Damn! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the same problem: whether to write about something important, such as Jennifer Wilbanks or Prince Harry, or something trivial, such as the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of the Nazi death camps. Either way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late for the dead.

Nor do I use the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;trivial,â&#x20AC;? so to say, trivially.

Last week, more than 2000 banners were waving on the UVM green, each representing 5000 Jews murdered under Hitler. Please note: 5000 people for each flag. Five thousand actual, breathing people, whose lives were as important as yours or mine. On the front page of the local daily, a bewildered high-school student from South Burlington said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;mind-blowing to think this many people died for such a trivial reason.â&#x20AC;?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this girl really meant to say that the murder of the Jews was â&#x20AC;&#x153;trivial.â&#x20AC;? I think she meant to say that they were innocent. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also start teaching English again in the schools.) The rightwing nutcases who flood my email inbox every week talk about â&#x20AC;&#x153;dirty Jews,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;sorry niggersâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;fucking fags.â&#x20AC;? Six million here, two million there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference? And the casualties in Iraq arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even counted, unless the â&#x20AC;&#x153;casualtyâ&#x20AC;? befalls an American, and even then only â&#x20AC;&#x153;in combat.â&#x20AC;? The rest are no concern of ours.

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strictly true, as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared last week at Auschwitz, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the world was silentâ&#x20AC;? when the Germans killed the Jews. Rather, the world took no action, ignored the problem, until it exploded. By the time the extermination camps were in â&#x20AC;&#x153;fullâ&#x20AC;? operation, the whole world was at war â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fighting, as they say, for democracy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The forces of decency always hope for the best,â&#x20AC;? said Dorothy Thompson in 1938, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and almost always wait until it is too late.â&#x20AC;?

When a war between nations is lost, The loser, we know, pays the cost.

But even when Germany fell to your hands â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Consider, dear lady, consider, dear man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You left them their pride and you left them their land.

And what have you done to these ones?

It was my privilege last weekend to hear Buffy Sainte-Marie singing at Higher Ground. Many of you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Buffy is, unless you watched â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sesame Streetâ&#x20AC;? in the 1980s. In her publicity, she is properly identified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a folk legend,â&#x20AC;? but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much more than that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indian,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native American,â&#x20AC;? pick your term. How many of her own people died to make this nation great? She is a poet, born on a Cree reservation in Saskatchewan and raised, after adoption, in Maine and Massachusetts. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an artist, activist, painter, mother, singer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; blacklisted under Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam War and still riling audiences with her songs.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it? Well, I nearly got decked at Higher Ground the other night, when Buffy sang â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Universal Soldierâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a song recorded many times by other people but written, uniquely, by her: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five foot two, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six feet four.

He fights with missiles and with spears Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all of 31, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a soldier for a thousand years.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain, A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.

I said to the man sitting next to me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a complete stranger, with white hair, like most of us in the room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fuck you!â&#x20AC;? he replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And fuck her! She hates America!â&#x20AC;? Whereupon, he stomped out. I figured he must be one of those Vietnam vets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all like this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who believes the only valor displayed in those days was â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;? and not here. Anyhow, I was awfully glad he left. I felt like Jane Fonda without the breasts.

Later, backstage, I said to SainteMarie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d asked us for requests, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have given you one.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which one?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now That the Buffaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gone.â&#x20AC;?

She laughed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did that last night in MontrĂŠal. You should get on the bus.â&#x20AC;?

I asked her if I could quote her lyrics and she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure. So long as they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to promote a product. Otherwise, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free.â&#x20AC;?

Oh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written in books and in songs That weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mistreated and wronged.

Well, over and over, I hear the same words, From you, good lady, and you, good man . . .

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now, you must help us, dear man, Now that the buffaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. m

Dear Cecil, Many years ago I was told there were Nike missile sites along the Chicago lakefront. Supposedly they were scattered from Grant Park to somewhere north of Lincoln Park, and consisted of underground bunkers that would open to let the launching platform rise up and fire the missile. Was that a cold-war urban legend?

Larry Cywin, Gainesville, Florida Nope, that was cold-war reality. Chicago’s lakeside rockets were more conspicuous than most, but in the 1950s and ’60s every American city of consequence was surrounded by Nike missile batteries, the better to fend off Soviet bombers. Soviet bombers, you say? What about the USSR’s far more fearsome intercontinental ballistic missiles? Just so, which explains why nobody remembers Nike missiles today. They date from an era when people still believed it was possible to mount an effective defense against nuclear attack — in fact, the Nike batteries near some cities replaced anti-aircraft guns. Then along came the ICBM, which rendered the whole thing quaint.

The Nike missile program had its origins during World War II, when U.S. military planners realized that jets and other fast, high-flying aircraft then under development were beyond the reach of existing anti-aircraft weapons. Rockets seemed the answer. The postwar Soviet threat made the matter more urgent, and in 1954 deployment of what became known as the Nike Ajax began around U.S. cities. The slender missiles were stored in underground magazines and could be elevated into firing position when required. Though equipped with a computerized radar guidance system that was advanced for its day, the Ajax had a range of only 25 miles, so you needed lots of them to defend a big city.

The exurbs of New York, for example, bristled with 19 Nike missile emplacements.

Most Nike batteries were built on the urban fringe or in outlying or otherwise remote city districts — the Los Angeles sites included one at Fort MacArthur at the city’s

southern tip and another on San Vicente Mountain in Van Nuys. Chicago’s sites were largely in the boondocks as well, but three Nike installations were spread along the densely populated Lake Michigan shoreline, from Jackson Park on the south side to Montrose Point on the north.

In some cases rockets were housed only a few hundred yards from ranks of high-rise apartments. Geography dictated the atypical deployment — without the missiles, the long, uninflected lakefront was vulnerable to invading Hoosiers from Michigan City or, OK, an attack by Russian bombers coming in over the water.

Local leaders complained loudly about the use of public parkland for missiles, contending among other things that the Ajax was already obsolete. They got no argument from the military on that point. Even before the Ajax was deployed the Pentagon pushed to replace it with a newer model, the Nike Hercules, which went into service in 1958. Larger than the Ajax, the Hercules had greater range (75 miles plus) and could deliver a nuclear warhead rather than conventional explosives, the thought being that you could take out several attackers per missile rather than just one.

These nukes weren’t just firecrackers, either — they could be set to explode with a force of as much as 40 kilotons, twice as powerful as the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. The thought of detonating a nuclear warhead within 75 miles of a city you were nominally trying to protect today seems insane, but to be fair the Nikes were the last line of defense in a system that also included early-warning radar and interceptor aircraft. Also, while the Hercules could be equipped with nukes, given coldwar secrecy we don’t know how many actually were.

The arms race soon made such questions moot. In 1957 the Soviets flight-tested the first ICBM and in the same year launched Sputnik, making it clear that henceforth rockets rather than bombers would be the nuclear delivery system of choice. Although the Hercules succeeded in destroying other missiles in tests, its technology wasn’t designed to counter a full-scale ICBM assault.

(A third Nike, the Zeus, was developed with ICBMs in mind, but technical flaws led the Pentagon to scrap it in 1963.) Nike batteries remained operational for quite a while, no doubt on the theory that as long as the Soviets maintained strategic bombers we needed a bomber defense, however small the odds of using it. Although some installations were phased out in the ’60s, the last ones weren’t dismantled until the late ’70s.

Today the odd support building, concrete slab or other vestige is all that remains of the missile emplacements in Chicago and most other cities. The curious can head out to Golden Gate National Recreation Area, north of San Francisco, where a restored old site has been converted into a Nike museum — surely a fitting end.

Whatever complaints we may have about the current state of the world, we ought to be grateful that to most people Nike means shoes, not the latest in urban defense.

n the week when the thermometer finally matched the calendar, the mountains began to beckon. Most trails are still too muddy for hiking, though; it’s better weather for sitting down in front of your computer and knocking out an email — one that may help preserve the forests of the Green Mountains for decades to come.

The Forest Service is in the middle of producing its next forest plan, and its draft effort, now up for public review, is more of a valley than a peak. It all but turns its back on more wilderness, favoring at several key junctures ATVers and snowmobilers over the muscle-powered masses.

But the draft is still open for public comments, which are running heavily against the Forest Service’s work. And in the end, the state’s Congressional delegation can overrule the plan anyway. But that won’t be easy; the ascendant right wing in Washington is not exactly wildernessfriendly.

Here’s the background: Only 1 percent of Vermont’s land is currently protected as wilderness, one of the smallest totals around. New Hampshire, by contrast, has

equal to the percentage across the lake in New York. So far, according to Dick Andrews, a spokesman for the Vermont Wilderness Alliance, “the vast majority” of 5500 public comments on the Forest Service’s draft plan have favored wilderness protection.

Paul Brewster, the supervisor of the National Forest, has the unenviable task of balancing that kind of state and regional support with more focused opposition in some of the towns bordering the forest.

Although the UVM polling showed that even neighbors wanted more wilderness protection, local selectmen, snowmobiling clubs and logging companies have been outspoken opponents. “This was not driven by anything happening on the political front or by the current administration in Washington,” Brewster insists — and even most forest advocates say he’s a straight shooter. “It’s been driven by local input, which has been very diverse. Polls only give us so much information.”

One victory that’s seen as likely to eventually emerge: the declaration of a National Recreation Area on the Moosalamoo tract centered on the town of Goshen, where locals led by Blueberry Hill Inn owner Tony Clark have worked out an elaborate plan embracing a mix of trails, wildlife-management areas and selective cutting. Even there, though, the possibility of a new east-west snowmobile corridor is spreading some gloom. Nobody is opposed to snowmobiling, but with thousands of miles of well-maintained trails in the state it seems perverse to even consider punching another one through one of Vermont’s last patches of roadless wild.

In any event, the Forest Service plan is not the final word on the topic. The state’s Congressional delegation has promised to proffer a bill of its own. Andrews isn’t expecting the legislators to embrace the Wilderness Alliance’s 80,000-acre plan, but says they’re likely to ask for considerably more wilderness than the Forest Service even considered — especially if public comments keep running in favor of wildlands protection.

It’s not clear, however, that the Vermont delegation will be able to muscle the legislation through, and the political positioning following Jeffords’ retirement announcement may make it even harder. If Bernie Sanders is running for Senate, he may not want to alienate some of his traditional base — the snowmobilers, say. And even if he decides to push for wilderness, his colleagues in the House may be disinclined to give him anything they think might help him politically.

But that’s for the politicians. For the rest of us, our chance to comment on the future of the woods and mountains that define our state is right now. The email address is: gmflplanrevision@fs.fed.us. If nothing else, it’s an important way to register opposition to the anti-wilderness policies now issuing from our nation’s capital, and to support the idea that more than 1 percent of Vermont should be preserved intact for those who come after us. m

The draft Forest Service plan, now up for public review, favors ATVers and snowmobilers over the musclepowered masses.

2 percent; New York, 7. Environmentalists and recreationists were hoping to double that total in a new wilderness bill — eyeing upwards of 80,000 acres. The biggest chunks are on Glastonbury Mountain in the southern stretches of the national forest — “You can just feel its wildness; it hits you right in face,” says Jim Northup, director of Montpelier-based Forest Watch — and in the Romance Mountain area.

Between the Brandon and Middlebury gaps, this is a paradise of rugged, moosehaunted, very wild ridgelines.

But the Forest Service put forward five alternatives, none of which came anywhere close to that proposal. Then, out of the five they chose one of the stingier — an alternative that would protect only 18,000 acres as wilderness. The Glastonbury tract would be a much-reduced chunk — in large part to keep open a single snowmobile trail to the peak of one mountain.

And in the Romance Mountain area, the plan avoids wilderness, apparently in part to keep alive the prospect of another eastwest snowmobile trail that might someday link the Rt. 100 corridor with the Champlain Valley. “Basically, there were two places where motorized uses conflicted with conservation, and they went for the motors both times,” says one observer of the process who wishes to remain anonymous.

“It’s incredibly small-minded and shortsighted,” says Northup, and it appears that most Vermonters agree. Polling by the University of Vermont in 2002 found that three-quarters of state residents want more wilderness — the average hoped for 6 percent of the state to be protected, almost

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD

DANIEL ZILKA

Moveable Feasts

A IMAGE Andy Duback “The Diner: An American Icon,” an exhibit prepared by architectural historian Daniel Zilka.

Truex, Cullins & Partners Architects, Burlington.

Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., through June 10.

nyone who’s been on a road trip in America has surveyed the McLandscape. Almost every Interstate exit ramp now leads to a predictable concrete sprawl of competing fast-food franchises. Even Howard Johnson is history. You need an eagle eye, or a guidebook, to pick out the precursor: the local diner. Once ubiquitous, the oldfashioned eatery has become an endangered species.

These days, diners are likely to be either dwarfed by big buildings in an old downtown, or hanging on for dear life at the edge of town. But it’s worth going the extra mile for the simple, home-cooked food typically served there. Slide onto a well-worn stool at the counter, or onto a convex cushion in a booth. You don’t need to look at the menu — wedged between the sugar and the napkin dispensers — to order breakfast anytime, a turkey club or a BLT. For dessert, there’s always pie.

America’s erstwhile eating establishment is granted “icon” status in an exhibit of diner history currently on display in the offices of Truex, Cullins & Partners, Architects on Battery Street in Burlington. Curator Daniel Zilka of Providence, Rhode Island, definitely sees the big picture: The exhibit’s explanatory text describes the diner as the “American equivalent of the Irish pub, Turkish tea house or Japanese sushi bar.” In an interview he adds, “All you have to do is say the word ‘diner’ and you have a picture . . . the waitresses, the stools, the counters and the style of food that will be served.”

But Zilka, a former Burlingtonian, is also an expert in local lore. He earned a Master’s in historic preservation from the University of Vermont under Chester Liebs, who had a special interest in roadside architecture. While in the Queen City, Zilka got hooked on diners and briefly considered “putting one next to PhotoGarden,” he recalls. He worked at the Shelburne Museum and on the Flynn Theatre and Ethan Allen Homestead restoration projects. He also threw lavish public parties and for three years co-owned the nightclub Border — now Club Metronome. An achiever with an artistic eye, Zilka says, “I left Burlington because I literally ran out of things to do.”

Nevertheless, Vermont is the focus of the Truex exhibit. Many of the images and artifacts on display are local, including a laminated Oasis menu and a collection of matchbook covers from existing and defunct diners all over the state. Last Saturday, Zilka expanded on the

informative captions with a history lecture and guided bus tour organized by the Chittenden County Historical Society. The “Diner-A-Round” took in four of the area’s working diners: Henry’s, the Oasis, the Parkway and Libby’s, where the group sat down for a late lunch of hot turkey with stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes and corn. Vegetarians, including Zilka, got meatless lasagna.

En route, people passed around a scrapbook documenting the 2001 rescue of the Wesson Diner. Zilka came back to the Queen City to help save the Shelburne Road landmark, which by then had been bricked over and transformed. Amey Radcliffe and Stephanie Salmon of Gotham City Graphics spearheaded the liberation, which took about a week, and moved the diner to an “undisclosed” Vermont location, where it remains.

Zilka’s exhibit includes a photo of the original Wesson’s distinctive kitschy sign: a toque-topped chef proffering a platter to passersby.

Most of the color photos in the exhibit were taken by Joe Petrarca, a Truex architect and diner fan. But the black-and-whites, like the one of the Wesson, are credited to the American Diner Museum — Zilka’s “virtual” nonprofit. Back in Providence, he presides over a 9000square-foot warehouse packed with hundreds of objects culled from diner rescues, including neon clocks, coffee urns, old grills, plates, mugs, booths, stools and two dismantled Sterling diners. The Burlington exhibit’s sitdown installation incorporates just a few of these items.

Providence was supposed to provide a permanent home for Zilka’s collection, in its new Heritage Harbor Museum. But fundraising for the project has fallen short, and Zilka says the curatorial vision may have to be downsized. “Our plans are contingent upon them,” he explains.

Historically speaking, Providence is the perfect spot to memorialize the mobile restaurant. The American diner made its first appearance there in 1872 as a “night lunch cart” serving second- and third-shift workers at the Providence Journal — in short, it was the original fast-food source. Proprietor Walter Scott, who was also a pressman, hadn’t been slinging sandwiches for long when he realized he was onto an idea with serious potential.

“The concept moved up the Blackstone River Valley to Worcester,” Zilka explains, where Thomas Buckley became the first large-scale manufacturer of readymade wooden lunch wagons that could be hauled — by horse — to eager operators all over the country.

Over time fabrication spread to the New York area, and the takeout model expanded to accommodate sit-

down diners with a counter and a few stools. Even as they became more permanent, though, the diners often retained their wheels. Temperance societies embraced the phenomenon because it kept men out of taverns, where they got lunch for free if they were drinking.

Zilka says the term “on the wagon” is a reference to the “dry” diner alternative.

Women influenced diner development in other ways, too. Early diner interiors featured varnished oak with etched windows, glass counters and dazzling tile work.

After suffrage, diners were further “feminized” with booth seating, lace curtains and other amenities. The rash of lady diner names — the “Miss Burlington” diner served hungry Queen City citizens where the Roxy is now — indicated a female-friendly marketing trend.

Architectural movements, particularly the Art Deco and the space-age-inspired moderne, also shaped the diner’s design evolution. But the rolling restaurants stayed practical. They perfectly symbolized the American ideal of equal opportunity, both for the working-class diners who frequented them and their self-made owneroperators. Many wannabe restaurateurs who couldn’t afford their own establishment bought into the food business with a moveable model. If one location didn’t work, they could try another one down the road.

Zilka salvaged dozens of customized sales “orders” for these democratic diners. They amount to a single-page architectural blueprint covered with the salesman’s hand-written notes. In the Burlington exhibit, you can see this original paperwork for the Miss Newport, Brattleboro’s Royal, the Miss Bellows Falls and Libby’s — Worcester Diner #838, delivered in 1953 — which was brought to Vermont from Massachusetts.

Coincidentally, the next diner the company made was the Parkway on Williston Road, a.k.a. Worcester Diner #839. The original proprietor died of a heart attack about a year after he opened. His widow, who is still alive, sold the diner to the Lines family. “They owned most of the diners at one time,” Zilka says — the third generation now runs Burlington’s Oasis.

Such intimate details make this diner documentary more than just a study of a uniquely American architectural phenomenon. Zilka has lovingly preserved a slice of Vermont cultural history that everyone can appreciate. If Providence can’t make room for that, as promised, maybe the Shelburne Museum should clear a place in the parking lot. After all, the Wesson’s is somewhere out there in the Vermont woods waiting for a home. Now that would be a Blue Plate Special. m

Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open congressional seat, told us sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for a lecture position at UVM. She deflected the suggestion of congressional aspirations, but, hey, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wide open race. Stay tuned.

Seeing Kate and Zephyr sparked thoughts of their former boss, Howard Dean.

Currently serving as Democratic National Committee Chairman, Ho-Ho will be speaking at the Massachusetts Democratic Party convention in Lowell on Saturday.

The hot item on the agenda is a platform amendment supporting gay marriage. As you know, one year ago the Bay State became the first state to allow same-sex marriage, topping Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civilunions legislation of 2000.

Nonetheless, a few Massachusetts Ds are opposed to adding it to the party platform. Sen. John Kerry has called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mistake.â&#x20AC;?

Really?

Some might expect the man who signed Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmark civil-unions law to give the amendment a boost. After all, Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support in the gay community for signing civil unions actually helped launch his presidential quest.

Think again.

Dr. Dean has already told the Boston press he has no intention of telling Massachusetts Dems what to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;States can work these issues out for themselves,â&#x20AC;? he told the Globe.

Sounds like the old Howard Dean, eh? The one we knew in Vermont through the 1980s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. The play-to-the-middle Howard Dean who signed the civil-unions bill in private so there would be no photos or footage that might come back and bite his presidential butt.

Instead, speaking invitations from out-of-state gay-rights organizations started pouring in.

Howard Dean became a familiar dinner speaker in places like California. He won â&#x20AC;&#x153;Human Rightsâ&#x20AC;? awards for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;courage.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, it was Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concealment of those out-of-state public appearances that sparked the battle over the accuracy of the Guvâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weekly Public Appearance Schedule,â&#x20AC;? a battle that eventually went all the way to the Vermont Supreme Court.

Fortunately, thanks to the Internet, Gov. Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts to hide his political travels in 2001 and 2002 were both foolish and unsuccessful.

How ironic that, instead of dooming Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential candidacy, marriage rights for gays helped launch it. How quickly he forgets!

These days, DNC Chairman Howard Dean sounds a lot more like the Republicanesque governor we knew before he became a national liberal/progressive political flash in the pan. In his speech to the California Democratic Convention last month, Ho-Ho made the pitch that the party needs to target the middle and go after the Red states.

Ho-Ho told the California delegates, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to change the way we talk to folks . . . we need to talk about abortion differently.â&#x20AC;?

Instead, said Dean, the Democrats must focus on â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? moral values like a balanced budget (vintage Dean, eh?), Social

Security and environmental protection.

Surprisingly, in his half-hour speech, the chairman of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;oppositionâ&#x20AC;? political party did not mention the Iraq War. Not once. It was as if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist.

But we all know it does. And we all know it because our president successfully deceived us, lied to us and fabricated a security threat coming from a tinhorn Middle Eastern dictatorship with an economy in tatters.

Wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it Howard Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition to the October 2002 resolution that first put him on the radar screen?

Three years later, the U.S. is bogged down in an interminable bloodbath in Iraq. The occupation is not going well. As was said about Vietnam 35 years ago, there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;no light at the end of the tunnel.â&#x20AC;?

But Howard Dean, the new leader of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;oppositionâ&#x20AC;?

Democratic Party, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even mention the Iraq War at the California Democratic Convention?

Come to think of it, Ho-Ho ducked the Vietnam War, too.

Dean has said he never joined the antiwar protests. He beat the draft with a bad back. Then he went skiing in Aspen.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pattern here somewhere.

Jim & Fidel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Now that Independent U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords has decided to call it quits after this term, he just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the press attention he used to. For example, where are the news photos of Jeezum Jim and Fidel Castro from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gettogether in Havana? You mean Ch. 3 didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send a crew?

Sen. Jeffords and his wife Liz Jeffords spent five days in Cuba touring, meeting dignitaries, and signing trade agreements that will bring more Vermont products to the island. And on their last evening in Havana, the Vermonters met the big guy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fidel Castro.

As you may know, Sen. Jeffords did not take questions on April 20 when he announced at the Sheraton-Burlington that he will not be a candidate for reelection in 2006. He joked that, at 70, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as sharp as he used to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My memory fails me on occasion,â&#x20AC;? said Jeffords, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but Liz would argue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on for the last 50 years.â&#x20AC;?

In a Monday telephone interview, Jeezum Jim took questions from Inside Track. The senator was en route to the Burlington Airport to catch a flight back to Washington. Yours truly was interested in Cuba.

INSIDE TRACK: Have you met Castro before?

JIM JEFFORDS: Ah, yes.

IT: How long ago was that?

JJ: Oh, wait a minute, I guess I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I guess this was the first time. I thought there had been another time. I was sure I must have met him sometime.

IT: What was your impression of Castro?

JJ: Oh, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an impressive man.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question about it. You can understand his successes, and he handles himself well. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very wonderful man to talk to.

Well said, eh?

Media Notes — The bad news is, Bridget Barry Caswell’s days as Ch. 3’s Six O’Clock News co-anchor are numbered.

The good news is, she’ll be replaced by a familiar face from the past — Kristin Kelly.

Kristin’s been toiling for the last five years as a New England Cable News reporter covering her native Massachusetts.

Bridget, a mother of four, simply could not do the Six and the Eleven O’Clock broadcasts — the female co-anchor, unlike her male counterparts, is required to do both. Bridget’s been doing the Six since Sera Congi departed a month ago, and she’s doing a great job.

Ms. Kelly is due to return to the WCAX airwaves in late May or early June. We know one Burlington police lieutenant who’s a very happy man these days as a result, and it’s not just because of all the money he’ll save on gas for those frequent trips to Boston.

Welcome home, Kristin!

The other new face on the Ch. 3 News is former Boston College football/basketball cheerleader Nicole Oliverio. Nicole spent the last year and a half at WMDN-TV in Meridian, Mississippi.

As you may have already noticed, Nicole is one very sharp reporter. She’ll be starting out at Ch. 3’s one-reporter Upper Valley bureau in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. m

R STORY

KEN PICARD IMAGES

JAY ERICSON

ows of knitting machines hum and chatter in unison inside Northfield’s Cabot Hosiery Mills. Each machine is roughly the size of a video arcade game; at its center is a steel cylinder no larger than a coffee can. Within each cylinder, some 50 to 200 knitting needles rapidly weave complex patterns using a half-dozen different yarns. A single machine clicks and whirs for nearly five minutes before it abruptly falls silent. Then, after a brief, loud whoosh, a plastic vacuum tube spits out just one sock.

After all that activity, you’d expect to see 100 socks pop out — or at least a dozen. In today’s highly mechanized world of overseas textile manufacturing, where shrink-wrapped tube socks are literally a dime a dozen, this kind of meticulous weaving might seem ponderously slow and, well, darned inefficient.

How can Cabot Hosiery Mills keep up with much larger textile mills in Honduras, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and China, where labor and energy costs are much lower and environmental and human-rights laws all but nonexistent?

“We don’t,” company co-owner Ric Cabot answers bluntly. “But that’s not what we’re all about.”

Cabot is not about quantity, he says, but quality. Since 1978, Cabot socks have been hanging tough in an ever-changing apparel industry — and sales are showing no signs of wearing thin. In an age when shoppers are accustomed to buying sixpacks of cheap, white hosiery, this privately owned, Vermont family business has gotten ahead of the competition by going after the niche market of high-quality, athletic footwear.

Leading the way is Cabot’s fastest growing product line: Darn Tough Vermont, a soft but durable performance sock that’s recently gained national media attention in glossy, upscale magazines such as Runner’s World and Outside. And at $15 to $20 per pair, Darn Tough Vermont has pulled off an even bigger coup: winning over consumers who skeptics once warned would never drop that much cash on one pair of socks.

Darn Tough’s success is bucking a national trend. Reflective of all American manufacturing, the U.S. textile industry has just entered a new era of steep decline.

For at least two decades, much of the apparel sold in the United States has been made overseas. But in January, global quotas on all textiles and apparel were lift-

No country has reaped the rewards of that development more than China. As The New York Times reported in March, U.S. imports of Chinese apparel are up a whopping 546 percent over last year, resulting in the loss of more than 12,000 jobs in the U.S. textile industry.

According to the Times, some analysts predict that China will take over as much as 70 percent of the American clothing market within the next two years.

But while other U.S. apparel makers are getting their knickers in a knot over these ominous developments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with many bowing to pressures to move

daily operations, opened the Northfield plant 27 years ago.

Today, Cabot Hosiery Mills has annual revenues in the $8-10 million range and employs 78 people, some of whom have been with the company for more than 20 years. Obviously, Cabot pays higher wages than its offshore competitors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between $10 and $23 per hour, plus benefits, depending on the job. But as Cabot points out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say that the best people in the sock industry are right here in Northfield, Vermont â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most experienced, the most hands-on, the most technical, people who have seen it all.â&#x20AC;?

over to Bolivia, found some sweater knitters there who were doing patterns like these,â&#x20AC;? Marc Cabot says, displaying a thick, woolen weave, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we translated them into a pair of socks.â&#x20AC;?

After returning to the states, Cabot drew some sketches from memory and asked his designer to enter them into a computer.

Within two weeks, the company had sold 100,000 pairs.

In many respects, the Cabot business model isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that different from other small but successful Vermont businesses: Make a well-designed, highquality product that takes longer to produce and costs a bit more than its mass-produced competition but lasts three times as long. Then, capitalize on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation for downhome durability and market it under the Vermont name. As Ric Cabot notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darn Tough Connecticut probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come off as well.â&#x20AC;?

Roland Beliveau is the sales and marketing director for Darn Tough Vermont. He says he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised when Darn Toughsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three styles of socks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hiking/ trekking, skiing/riding and biking/running â&#x20AC;&#x201D; found acceptance in Vermont outdoor stores such

as Climb High, Outdoor Gear Exchange, Onion River Sports and similar retailers in Colorado and Utah. Then last year, the company landed a major account with the national retail chain, Eastern Mountain Sports.

More surprising, perhaps, the Darn Tough line is now in stores that cater â&#x20AC;&#x153;to loggers and truck drivers and sell Husqvarna chainsaws,â&#x20AC;? Beliveau says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hearing about these socks, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all they want to wear.â&#x20AC;?

Of course, Vermonters have long known about Cabotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation. Every year for two weekends in November, the mill opens its doors and sells socks directly to the public at a huge discount. The annual event draws as many as 5000 people, some of whom drive from as far away as Maine and Pennsylvania. Folks wait out in the cold before the doors open at 8 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just for an opportunity to buy socks by the bagful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The perception has moved to the point where, if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait an hour in line, they feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting a great deal,â&#x20AC;?

Cabot jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the longer they wait, the better they feel.â&#x20AC;?

Apparently, those who have

field-tested Darn Tough socks claim theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re second to none.

During a recent visit to Outdoor Gear Exchange in Burlington, one salesman whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d received a pair as a gift couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough good things about them. At last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont City Marathon in Burlington, the company gave away 4500 pairs to all the entrants. Reportedly, a number of runners crossed the finish line wearing them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a ringing endorsement, considering serious athletes rarely try out new gear for the first time in competition.

According to Beliveau, the U.S. militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter warfare facility in Jericho is now testing Darn Tough socks for possible use by its Special Forces unit.

The Cabots arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very secretive about their success â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they had no qualms, for example, about mentioning who supplies their high-quality Merino wool in New Zealand. But some things they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t divulge. A recent tour of the Northfield mill ends at a row of industrial dryers tumbling hundreds of pairs of socks at a time. Do they ever end up with an odd number? Chuckling, Cabot shakes his head. Some trade secrets must stay in the family. 슞

Death Sentences Book review: Companions for the Passage

fter my father’s death, it was weeks before I could bring myself to write down the words, “Daddy died.” In the six years since my mother’s death, I’ve written hundreds of pages about losing my parents, STORY and about how that loss has changed my RUTH life.

A secondary premise is that lots of people have had these expe-

riences, and are just waiting for the chance to share them. She reinforces this theme with her format: 13 first-person accounts transcribed from face-to-face interviews.

Ryerson, who teaches photojournalism at Castleton State College, has taken this approach before. She “orchestrated” her 2003 book Water Music by pairing her own photographs of water with aqueous memories and musings solicited from an array of world-class musicians. Companions for the Passage was inspired by the death of her father, which she describes in her introduction. She assembled her contributors through personal acquaintances and word of mouth. This baker’s dozen of “deadheads” — all drawn from northern New England, with a disproportionate number of them working in health care — discuss their close encounters with the deaths of spouses and lovers, children, parents, patients and friends.

Not surprisingly, Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observations are also markedly unsentimental. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held a lot of people when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve died,â&#x20AC;? he reports, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I have read and heard reflections about the soul

A memoir published just this month, entitled The Best Day The Worst Day, is an extended version of the same story he tells Ryerson.

A man of words, Hall translates his grief into garrulousness.

In his first months of widowhood, he says, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop talking about it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would . . . go into a diner and the man next to me would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can I have the ketchup?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Here. My wife liked ketchup. She died of leukemia.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? But voicing his loss only took him so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think the dying is the worst thing,â&#x20AC;? Hall comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But

What a gift.â&#x20AC;? Nevertheless, the narratives tend to take on a spiritual, quasi-mystical tone.

say what they want. My husband, who does not believe in anything like that, was even struck by the experience of it,” she says, sounding defensive. “I know it’s corny, but I can’t help but feel that in some way, somehow, that bird is a gesture from her.”

Elsewhere, a widow calls the timing of her husband’s death “perfect,” explaining, “I felt that at this point his spirit was ready.” And in yet another section, a mother avows that in the moment before her infant died in her arms, “The expression on her face was absolute, total bliss . . . as if she was saying, ‘Can you see it, Mom?’”

on the surface, that this life — our current physical existence — is not all there is. Beyond that, I don’t know.” The MD also says he’s seen “a large handful of people” die within a few minutes of having been given permission to do so, and many more shift at such moments from stress to a more peaceful physiology. “That’s so common,” Byock states, “that to think that that’s not real would be folly.”

SMOKERS WANTED

For UVM research study of factors affecting cigarette smoking

The stories Ryerson’s subjects provide feel sanitized, or at least scrupulously selected.

Ryerson gives the last word to Ira Byock, who directs Palliative Medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and is the author of the influential end-of-life advice book Dying Well. Byock, who has made a career of witnessing deaths and hearing deathbed descriptions, adds his authority to the awed attitude that infuses Companions. “I don’t know where the electrons go, where the energy, the spirit, the soul go, when someone dies,” Byock admits. “I have a sense . . . that the density of consciousness that life . . . represents does not vanish, at death.”

He goes on to discuss the “dozens” of stories he’s heard about people being unaccountably aware of the moments when their distant loved ones died. “These stories are not fantasy,” Byock asserts. “I think that they are one of the little pieces of empirical evidence that life is more than it appears

views, such as Byock’s counsel about how to visit someone who’s dying: “Name your own feelings,” he suggests. It’s OK to simply say something such as, “I’m really worried,” or “Gee, this is hard.” Grieving survivors who can’t believe they’ll ever get back to their lives can take heart from reading the honest accounts of those who have. And at a time when end-of-life issues have become a political hot button, Ryerson’s humane collection offers a helpful addition to the discussion.

For all its plusses, however, Companions for the Passage is far from perfect. One problem is structural. Throughout, Ryerson seems to channel more than report. After briefly introducing each speaker — job, relationship to the deceased, something notable about the death, and how Ryerson found the person — she basically turns on the tape recorder and sits back. It’s a respectful, dem-

color this critical event. Where are the worries about soaring medical costs and widening insurance gaps? The anxiety surrounding medical decisions and the dying person’s wishes?

The ethical dilemmas that accrue from the choice to passively or actively end a life? The interpersonal conflicts that so often flare up in families at times of crisis?

Granted, such concerns are beyond the scope of this book.

But by ignoring them completely, Ryerson seems to suggest that the only thing standing between the reader and an enriching deathbed encounter is a willingness to remain open to the experience. The flip side of that promise is the implication that someone who has squandered this “intimate privilege” has missed out — or, worse, failed. Losing a loved one is hard enough without the added pressure to get it right. m

LEXANDER A

Bad guy, bishop or Barre stonecutter, this Burlington actor takes center stage STORY: PAMELA POLSTON A talent for mimicry got John become the most sought-after actor in with the possible exception of Alexander his first acting gig. Vermont, Rusty “The Logger” DeWees. UnquesAs a 5-year-old at his mother’s cocktail parties, he’d entertain the guests with impersonations of Bela Lugosi, Jimmy Cagney, Errol Flynn — the actors he’d seen on late-night television. “I watched those shows with my mom,” he says. “I think she looked at it as good quality time with me, and part of my education.”

Alexander’s London-born mother was a vice president and buyer for Lord & Taylor in New York City; his father was a physician. They socialized with some of the biggest fashion designers of the day.

By first grade, Alexander was regaling them with his own version of “The Ed Sullivan Show” — he played the squareshouldered host introducing the night’s performers, and then played them, too.

He took to the stage in school as well, performing roles from Oscar Madison to Napoleon.

Now 41 and living in Burlington, Alexander springs his voices on his own family — sons Max and Sam and wife Alis. He says there’s not a lot of call for his impersonations these days, but that’s not really true: Over the past decade he’s

tionably, Alexander is among the very best performers this state has to offer. In a minor role he’s noticeably compelling; in a lead he’s positively riveting.

Theater-goers have seen, and applauded, him in nearly every local theater company, and in an astounding variety of roles: from the Dentist in Little Shop of Horrors to Pozzo in Waiting For Godot; from a middle-aged Park Avenue matron in Sylvia to any number of edgy roles in Stephen Goldberg’s noir-ish dramas. The versatility Alexander displayed in school proved portentous.

His stocky build — 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds — and commanding voice have earned him plenty of “authority” and “thug” roles. But Alexander’s twinkly blue eyes and frequent dimpled grin hint at his capacity for comedy, whether delivered in contemporary drag or an 18th-century powdered wig.

Earlier this spring Alexander played in Champlain Theatre’s production of The Cripple of Inishmaan. Two weeks ago he wrapped Lost Nation Theater’s Stone,

based on stories of Barre’s stonecutters — in which he had seven roles. With barely a night’s rest in between, he jumped straight into rehearsals for yet another Goldberg play, The Truth Has No Heart, which opens later this month in Burlington. First produced in 1993, the show is part of the Burlington playwright’s yearlong retrospective. In it, Alexander plays a bum named Harry.

“The story is about two sexy, exotic women who pick up a street vagrant and turn him into a money-making machine.

They give him a ‘motivation implant’ surgically,” says Goldberg, who calls Alexander a disciplined and “right on” actor. “John’s been one of the important people who’s worked with me over the years; I think he kind of identified with the work. For example, the character he’s doing right now — his instincts are all right; he just gets it.”

With back-to-back shows, it’s a wonder Alexander can keep track of which skin he’s in. But he makes it sound easy. “You sort of get used to it,” he says. “It’s not that hard. It’s sort of sink or swim, and, since we all want to swim, you just sort of jump in.”

Alexander makes acting look easy, too — reviews have noted his natural style and convincing depth of emotion. Critics and audiences alike have found much to love in his intense, fully inhabited portrayals, whether malevolently scary or howlingly funny. So have directors.

Make that two roles in one: the former SS officer Adolf Dorff and his impersonation, the wealthy Jewish businessman and ostensible Holocaust survivor Arthur Goldman.

One critic said Alexander embraced these challenging roles “with guts, sweat and a diagnosable paranoia.”

I’d say he’s the best local male actor I know; he’s just always been the go-to guy.

VERMONT STAGE COMPANY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR MARK NASH “I’d say he’s the best local male actor I know; he’s just always been the go-to guy,” states Mark Nash. The artistic director of Vermont Stage Company and an actor himself, Nash performed with Alexander more than a decade ago in Northern Stage Company’s No Orchids for Miss Blandish.

In 1998, he directed what could be considered Alexander’s breakout role in Green Candle’s The Man in the Glass Booth.

Nash deems the quality of Alexander’s performances “outstanding.” He’s got a Meryl Streep-like gift for accents, particularly variations of English — Cockney, Liverpudlian, King’s English, Australian high and low. And, notes Nash, “He’s the best ‘hair actor’ I know. He went bald for Godot; he did this incredibly accurate, 1930s hillbilly haircut for To Kill a Mockingbird. He shaved his head for Glass

Booth. He can be a real transformational actor,” Nash adds. “For him it’s always playing, and he still has a good time at it.”

And then there’s his day job.

John Alexander is so eloquent onstage, it’s not a great surprise to learn that he spends his days repairing writing — but you don’t expect it to be the turgid prose of medical journals. One of his regular clients is the American Thoracic Society, via Capital City Press in Barre.

Even though Alexander is a union member with the Actors’ Equity Association and Screen Actors Guild, he says, “I’m copyediting like crazy to pay the bills.”

Since last fall, he’s also been teaching technical writing at Champlain College.

But switching from stage to science isn’t new for him. Not that long ago, Alexander was a biological research technician for the University of Vermont and the USDA Forest Service. In the ’90s he was turning out botany-journal articles with such titles as “Photosynthetic and transpirational responses of red spruce understory trees to light and temperature.”

When traces of lead were discovered in

Vermont’s maple syrup, Alexander and his supervisor designed a study to determine the source of the heavy metal. (Though problems were found with old evaporators, he deems the issue “much ado about nothing — I mean, how much maple syrup does a person eat?”)

In a way, it was trees that lured Alexander from Manhattan’s Upper East Side to Burlington. At his family’s summer place in Gardiner, New York, he’d loved roaming the woods and became interested in ecology. And his family, Alexander says, “didn’t consider acting a stable method of bringing home the bacon.” So when he arrived as a freshman at UVM, he recalls, “Some senior asked me my major and I blurted out, ‘Forestry.’ I thought I was then locked in, though I wasn’t.”

Nevertheless, Alexander remained true to trees, earning a B.S. in Forest Biology and Management in 1986. After a brief stint as an “urban forester” in New York City, he returned to UVM to earn a Master’s degree in Forest Physiology in 1992.

One day during his last year of graduate school, Alexander was walking past UVM’s Royall Tyler Theatre and saw a >> 30A

sign soliciting auditions for Oedipus Rex. He’d played Creon in high school, but hadn’t been onstage in nearly a decade.

Spontaneously, he decided to audition. Director Robin Fawcett offered him the role of Creon again. “It was the perfect re-introduction for me,” says Alexander. “I think the production went well. I got a really nice review.”

That was the beginning of his double identity: academic by day, actor by night. Several more UVM productions followed. Alexander credits them with “re-igniting my skills.”

Local community and profes-

Candle. Though few came out to watch, Schnabel says it was an “amazing experience” for the troupe. “It was good for us as actors, a lot of fun being together, and I got to know John better. I think he’s really grown as an actor . . . He’s a very dedicated guy, and it really shows.”

As Alexander’s stage life heated up, though, the appeal of research was cooling. “In 1999 I decided the lab setting was not why I’d gotten into forestry,” he says. “I left and became head of security at Red Square,” a Burlington bar. In the same period, he earned his SAG card after several appearances in films by

her mother, Joanne Farrell. “I knew something was going to happen.” Farrell is director of the professional writing program at Champlain College as well as the artistic director of its theater. She met Alexander six years ago when she produced her first play, Lovers, at Burlington City Hall.

Two years later she cast Alexander as BabbyBobby in The Cripple of Inishmaan, performed at the FlynnSpace. This spring for Champlain’s production, she cast him as Johnnypateenmike.

“John helped make sure the accents were uniform. It was wonderful for the students to be working with a professional,”

and he had this kind of funny accent.” The audience hooted and applauded when he was done. When Alexander returned to the table, Farrell asked him what the song was. “With a great laugh — John loves to laugh — he said, ‘That was an English song celebrating their victory over the Irish.’ It sounded so patriotic, everyone was fooled.”

With some 40 productions to his credit so far, Alexander has proven very good at “fooling people” in countless guises.

After The Truth Has No Heart this month, he’s looking forward to playing Pap in the St. Michael’s Playhouse production

THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN

One, John has a great respect for directors; he will do anything, try anything. Two, he’s an incredible team player. And three, he loves the audience. He really gives to them, and cares about telling a good story.

sional theater groups took notice. He was handling multiple roles in the same show by the time Nash directed him in Our Country’s Good for Northern Stage in the mid-’90s. “I played one of the most dangerous convicts in Australia in the 1790s, as well as the judge advocate of the colonies,” he says.

And in that play Alexander demonstrated yet again his ear for speech. “He’s really got a command of dialects,” says friend and fellow actor Paul Schnabel. “I’ve actually gone to him for different projects where I needed help.” Though based in Burlington, Schnabel performs primarily in Europe these days with Adriano Shaplin and the Riot Group. Back in 1997, he acted with Alexander in New York City in a pair of Goldberg plays produced by Green

THE BOYS NEXT DOOR

Rutland director David Giancola. And he had extra or stand-in roles in a couple of Hollywood productions that came to town — What Lies Beneath and Me, Myself & Irene.

“In both movies, the casting director asked me to read for a speaking part as an EMT playing opposite the lead,” Alexander notes wryly. “But in both cases, he cast a friend in the part.”

Back at Red Square, he got to practice his “menacing bouncer” look, augmented by an army field jacket or a long, black, leather overcoat. None of the military headgear or antique weapons decorating his walls at home ever made it to the bar, however. Unpredictably, the job also led to his second marriage.

“He said he was looking to hire someone for Red Square and I gave him Alis’ number,” says

Farrell says. As his director, she notes three things she loves about working with him: “One, John has a great respect for directors; he will do anything, try anything. Two, he’s an incredible team player. And three, he loves the audience. He really gives to them, and cares about telling a good story.”

And as Alexander’s motherin-law, Farrell tells a story of her own, which she says illustrates “the quintessential John.” On St. Patrick’s Day, they were at Club Metronome listening to a band.

Alexander was wearing a black kilt for the occasion. “Suddenly he disappeared, and I saw the swish of his kilt moving through the crowd,” says Farrell. “He strides onstage and asks the musicians if he can sing a song.

He belts out this song, standing there straight-backed and proud,

of Big River this summer. Yet his days — well, years, anyway — in Vermont may be numbered: Eventually he wants to return to New York “to pursue my career on a more aggressive level . . . I’d love to work on Broadway and movies, maybe TV. Every year I watch the SAG or Academy Awards [presentations of] ‘the people we’ve lost this year,’” he adds, “and I think, Oh, no, I’ll never get to work with him or her.”

Alexander says he plans to stay in Vermont until his boys are raised — now 12 and 14 — but meanwhile, he’s keeping an eye out for Big Apple auditions.

And when he loses a role here to a “New York Equity actor,” he fumes with faux indignation, “I always say, ‘I am a New York actor’ — actors in New York are from Kansas.” m

JOHN ALEXANDER ON ACTING: SEVEN DAYS: What do you do to prepare for a role?

JOHN ALEXANDER: It depends on how familiar I am with that type of character. For instance, when I did Man in the Glass Booth, I read a couple of books by concentration camp survivors and one book by a former SS officer. I had to play both parts. I don’t usually do book research, but will on occasion, when I feel particularly at a loss for specific emotional material.

SD: How do you memorize all those lines?

JA: I’m sort of notorious for being a last-minute off-book guy, which directors hate. But they find after they work with me they have nothing to worry about. But . . . I just cover the page with a piece of paper and go through my lines and take it a scene at a time. I’ll get the first part of a scene down, then go on to the next. In the beginning it’s just rote memorization, but in rehearsal the words take on more meaning. When I’ve studied it enough, I like to have someone help me, reading the cue lines.

SD: In Stone, you had seven roles; was it difficult to keep your characters straight?

JA: No, not the characters, but with some of the voices it was a little difficult. With the old man, because he’s been a stonecutter for so long, I decided to give him a sort of tubercular voice, contrasting with the younger Italian man.

Recently being in The Cripple of Inishmaan, my Irish accent has become stronger than my Scottish. So when I had to go from an Irishman to a Scotsman, it was hard not to let any Irish seep in.

SD: Is it because of lowbudget productions that actors play several roles?

JA: In Sylvia I believe it was written that way; in the others, I’m not certain. Often it has more to do with the budget, so directors tend to seek out character actors who can play widely divergent characters.

SD: It seems like you fully inhabit your characters. Do you ever find a character’s personality seeping into your offstage life?

JA: Yes. One of my favorite roles was Adolf Dorff [a former SS officer in The Man in the Glass Booth]. You don’t completely drop your character during a run [of the show]. But it kind of crept into my psyche and started to creep me out. I would find myself — at moments, not all the time — being a little less kindly than I usually am, and with a lit-

SEVEN DAYS | may 11-18, 2005 | feature 31A

tle more cruelty creeping into my thoughts than is customary . . . It was more internal than anything I actually said or did.

This character had to interrogate people who had survived the concentration camps and kind of belittle them. There’s no way to approach the performance of that part unless you really immerse yourself. It’s so unbelievable and cruel. You have to just not worry about how you as a person feel about this survivor. It has to be, “What is Dorff thinking?” Even though I loved the role, I was glad to let it go.

As Bob Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird, I had to use language I would never use, with two African-American actors who I liked a lot. To be able to look a nice, sweet young girl in the face and use the “n” word while smiling is very difficult to do. That wasn’t a character that stuck with me; I could let go of that one after each performance. But it’s exactly the same kind of thing in terms of what you have to go through on stage. You have to lose yourself.

SD: Tell me about audience response and how it affects you on stage.

JA: Saturday audiences tend to be tired; often they’ve gone out to dinner and had a couple drinks. So when you don’t get that feedback from the audience, there’s kind of a negative feedback. There’s the risk of decreasing your energy or trying to overcompensate. The best thing to do is neither of those things.

Live theater is so interactive — little tiny things the actors sense coming off the audience can make all the difference in the way the show goes.

SD: Can you just pretend the audience isn’t there?

JA: That’s where the “fourth wall” comes in handy. In the world that’s created on stage there are three walls — the back wall, stage left and stage right walls. The actor has to sort of create the fourth wall where the audience is; immersing yourself in the world created by the play, you have to imagine the wall and no audience . . .

But when the actors are specifically interacting with the audience, in a way, the audience is part of your world. In Stone, the characters are really addressing the audience . . . This is unusual; most shows aren’t structured that way.

SD: As an actor, you must from time to time — or maybe all the time — privately think a scene could be directed better than what you’re being told.

JA: Yeah, it happens, but it’s

often not an insurmountable problem, because most directors will listen to your feedback. If the way you’re feeling about the character is, he just wouldn’t do what a director is suggesting, you make your case. Unless it happens to be something the director feels very strongly about . . . or maybe explains why and I’ll see the reason for the approach later.

That’s why self-directed plays lack that “all-seeing eye” . . . The con is, you’re too close to the material to go with anything other than its precise meaning.

The pro is, you really know what you meant in the lines and can direct to bring out that meaning.

SD: What kind of stage direction do you prefer?

JA: I prefer a style where the director is trying to bring out of you some version of what he or she wants to see on the stage, as opposed to the iron-fist approach of just saying, “This is the way I want it done” . . .

SD: Why have directors chosen you? And don’t be modest.

JA: I think because I can let my emotional hair down on stage, and I can dive into a character deeply enough that I can transform myself fairly well, I think. I take direction well, and I think I’m pretty easygoing, for the most part.

SD: Other than the New York production of the Steve Goldberg work, have you acted outside Vermont?

JA: Yeah; I worked on an episode of “Law and Order” — called “Execution,” I think. I started acting in New York, so all my early experiences were there, but in school.

SD: When was the “Law and Order” episode, and how’d you get the part?

JA: It was about 2001; filmed in New York. I was in the casting office one day filling out forms they keep on file there, and some junior executive type walked through the waiting room. There was me and six guys with chiseled chins and Armani suits. He looked at me and asked how tall I was, was I union. He chose me. So much for chiseled cheeks — ha!

SD: And Armani suits. What was the part?

JA: I was an extra and a stand-in in a courtroom scene and other background. Union stand-in work is pretty good. You get to work with the cast a little bit, and you get paid about $135 a day.

SD: Dare I ask what do actors get paid around here, if anything?

John Alexander performs next in Stephen Goldberg’s The Truth Has No Heart, Alumni Auditorium, Champlain College, Burlington.

May 26-28, 8 p.m. $15.

JA: Non-union actors — nothing or very little. Sometimes not even enough to cover gas. But a couple of companies pay even the non-Equity actors — usually around $500 a show.

SD: What do you think is the essence of acting? That is, what makes a person want to do it, and be suited for it?

JA: One thing is, you have to be able to bring up emotions and expose yourself, in a way — to an audience, your director and fellow actors. If you can’t go to whatever level with the character that is needed, there won’t be an interesting presentation of that character on stage, and there’s no way you’ll be successful.

On a business level, you have to deal with rejection and not look at it as rejection. For example . . . I once drove to New York for an audition for a musical film version of The Producers.

There was a nasty snow-sleet-ice storm; I left at 3 in the morning and got there just in time for the audition. They had us do a goosestep across the stage. Then they said, “Go stand up against wall; if you’re not 6-feet-zero, thank you for coming.” I’m 5-11. I got back in my car and drove home.

SD: What actors do you admire?

JA: Gene Hackman is my hero.

Why? I just always felt that, no matter what movie he’s in, he can do no wrong. Even if it’s a crummy movie. He gives you that Everyguy sort of feeling;

there’s just a lot of heart to what he’s doing.

Alec Guinness — who has sadly left us. I thought he was an amazing actor . . . Within his body type, he could do anything — male, female, young, old, refined or unrefined.

Locally, the guy I look up to is Paul Schnabel.

SD: Who would you love to play opposite?

JA: Clint Eastwood. I’ve always loved him, even back when he wasn’t popular . . . There’s also always kind of a moral behind what he’s involved in.

SD: On stage you seem confident and comfortable, but, tell me the truth, don’t you have any stage fright or anxiety?

JA: I do. My biggest thing, just before going on at the top of the show, is my first line. The bigger the venue, the more the nerves.

Performing on the Flynn MainStage is a world of difference from performing at Pearl’s . . . One time, before coming on in [Lyric’s] West Side Story, we had a full house. It was my first entrance and I suddenly thought, Something’s wrong: I don’t feel nervous. Then I panicked, because it’s the nervous energy that drives you onstage. I went on and everything was fine, but I thought maybe my performance that night didn’t have quite as much energy.

SD: What do you do to calm yourself before a show?

JA: To accommodate the butterflies, I’ll only eat the most bland and small portions. You have to eat — you don’t want your stomach to grumble on stage.

Then I do relaxation exercises before going on — basic, gentle stretching, gentle vocal warmups, enunciation, breathing. I hang down from the waist and let all the tension drop out, and I picture some place that is particularly comforting to me. Then I stand up and do a little shadow boxing to get the energy back.

SD: Besides the menacing bouncer you “played” at Red Square, do you ever use your actor skills in normal life — say, to get through an uncomfortable social situation or something?

JA: Once, I was in New York for the opening of Gremlins — I had a friend in it. Afterwards, I walked home through the park, even though I was wearing a double-breasted suit and dress shoes. This guy started following me. I tapped into my reservoir and decided to scare him off.

I happened to have a switchblade on me — this was the only situation where I pulled it out.

It’s 3 a.m. in Central Park. I figured I had to confront him because we’re the only people in the park and I can’t get away. I turned around, pulled out the switchblade, got down into a wrestling stance, put on the meanest look I could muster, and said, “Come on, motherfucker, let’s rock.” He ran. And I got out of there as quickly as I could. m

Hand Job Vermont armwrestlers flex for the state finals

K

aren Curavoo is a hell of a hooker, and she’s got plenty of plaques, trophies and medals to prove it. But the term doesn’t mean what you think; the 43-year-old Weybridge woman STORY is a world champion armwrestler.

CATHY And you’d be wise not to impugn RESMER her honor — Curavoo is one tough cookie.

IMAGES “Hooking” is a technique MATTHEW armwrestlers use to wrest control THORSEN from an opponent and slam his or her fist to the mat. Wait, you’re thinking.

Vermont State Technique? What’s so tough about Armwrestling armwrestling? Plenty, as it turns out.

Championships, American Legion, At least when you’re competing in a tournament.

Middlebury.

May 15, Curavoo organizes Vermont’s weigh-in competitive armwrestling circuit with 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.; her fiancé Bill Sinks, also a champion competition “puller.” The couple met eight years 1:30 p.m. ago at the World Championships in $20 compete, free to watch.

India. Right now they’re gearing up for Vermont state finals, which take place this Sunday at the American Legion in Middlebury.

Curavoo says competing in the sport at the tournament level calls for skill as well as strength. And despite the sport’s name, it’s not just about arms. “Armwrestling,” she insists, “is a total body workout.” Given her compact, muscular frame, that’s easy to believe.

Though armwrestling probably has been around ever since, well, since people have had arms, organized tournaments first appeared in the 1960s.

Today there are two national organizations devoted to the sport, and hundreds of competitions all across the country, many of them at county fairs.

But armwrestling isn’t what you’d call high profile — there aren’t any professional teams, and you can’t win a college scholarship to do it. It’s not even an Olympic event — yet. Armwrestling organizations are working on it, though. Perhaps not coincidentally, there aren’t even any iconic movies about armwrestlers, unless you count Sylvester Stallone’s formulaic 1987 Over the Top, which probably did more harm to the sport’s rep than good. Incidentally, Curavoo is in it, as an extra.

arms” before the match.

Their workouts take place, as always, in the basement of the Weybridge home the couple shares with Curavoo’s three children.

Country music rocks the subterranean space, which contains a treadmill, two weight benches and multiple barbells, dumbbells and weights stacked against a wall. Literally hundreds of glittering awards clutter shelves that ring the room. One wall is covered with plaques and pictures documenting Curavoo’s 25-year armwrestling

working as the Weybridge Town Clerk. “People don’t fight with me,” she quips. “They just pay their taxes.”

Curavoo and Sinks’ trophies don’t seem to interest the three men and one woman gathered to train; they’re all focused on the two regulationsized armwrestling tables — 40 inches high and 38 inches wide — sitting in the center of the basement’s concrete floor. Curavoo’s father made one — an Addison County farmer, he brought her to her first armwrestling

Most of the gasping and grunting comes from Lareau, who writhes, twining one of his legs around a table leg in a desperate scramble to force Sinks’ hand to the mat.

Despite its obscure status, tournament armwrestling requires practice.

In addition to weight training, Curavoo and Sinks put in several hours each week. And they spend two hours every Saturday afternoon coaching other up-and-coming Vermont armwrestlers. Like all of the organizing they do, it’s for fun, not money.

Only four pullers show up for the session the weekend before the state tournament. Curavoo says they usually get a crowd of 10 to 12, but most people don’t want to “blow their

career — in one she’s posing with Lou Ferrigno, the Incredible Hulk; in another she mugs with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

One collage of photos chronicles her first-place win in the 2003 World Championships in Canada. The look on her face as she prepares to wrestle a Russian woman is startlingly intense. “You have to be intense against the Russians,” she explains.

“They’re all pumped up.”

So it’s something of a shock when Curavoo mentions that her day job is

tournament years ago. Sinks made the other, using heavy black iron supports and a piece of wood that came from a bowling-alley floor.

Both tables feature black vinyl-covered elbow pads in the center of the long sides, and two additional pads where the entwined arms will fall, depending on who wins. The tops of these pads constitute an invisible plane — contestants win when they force an opponent to break the plane.

There are also two short metal pegs on either side of the table, which

. . . basic, so physical,” she muses. “You’re so in the moment. There’s nothing else going on in your head when you’re armwrestling.”

That’s certainly the case when she takes on Sinks toward the end of the session. Pembrook gasps for breath, pushing and leveraging with all her might, while Sinks stands immobile.

He’s not even using two of his fingers — he’s holding them straight up, outside of his grip.

“Are you fatiguing?” he asks her kindly.

“Yes,” she hisses from between clenched teeth.

“Don’t stop,” he instructs her, “don’t stop.”

“Oh, God, help me,” she grunts.

“Come on,” Sinks urges, “I’m giving you my fingers, and you’re not taking them. Take advantage of them.”

The match doesn’t so much end as stop; Sinks never forces her hand to the table. Winning obviously wasn’t the point.

Curavoo says it’s good for these athletes to challenge themselves by pushing, and pulling, against someone stronger.

Despite the futility of her efforts against Sinks, Pembrook believes that skill can sometimes tip the grip, and Curavoo agrees.

That will be especially true on Sunday, when the wrestlers will face more evenly matched opponents. “Armwrestling,” she reminds her disciples, “is all about control. If you can control someone’s hand, you can control the rest of him.” m

correctly, increase your leverage.

Lareau says it’s also important to kink your wrist forward slightly and never let your arm bend too far backward without moving with it. If you leave your arm exposed, bent away from your body, it could snap under a mere 10 pounds of pressure.

Meanwhile, at the other table, Curavoo wrestles and mentors Heather Pembrook, a 34-year-old scientist with the state’s waterquality department. “Use your lats,” Curavoo admonishes, referring to muscles in Pembrook’s back. “Watch these knuckles.”

Both competitors’ thumb knuckles must be visible in a tournament, or an umpire will call a foul.

After Curavoo forces her arm down a few times, they take a break. “It’s funny,” says Pembrook. “Have you ever felt like you could watch your forearms get bigger?”

Curavoo nods. “Yeah,” she says. “I love it.”

Pembrook, who’s been armwrestling for about a year, says it’s the first competitive thing she’s done since high school. She tends to be more the hiking and mountain-biking type, but something about armwrestling appeals to her.

Partly it’s the egalitarian flavor of the events. “Everybody’s armwrestled. Everybody understands it,” she says. At local competitions, “it’s just regular people who might have a strong hand.”

But the attraction is also primal. “It’s just so, I don’t know

contestants must grip with their free hand while wrestling. They also must have at least one foot on the ground at all times. This last rule can be a challenge: armwrestling is all about leverage, and competitors contort their bodies in some crazy ways to gain it.

An hour into the practice, Steve Lareau, 21, stands at the table to wrestle Sinks. Both men wear jeans and gray T-shirts.

Lareau’s has UVM stamped across the front — he’s a student. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

Lareau is a husky lad, but he’s nowhere near as buff as the 40year-old construction worker.

Sinks wears his blond hair a little shaggy and resembles Sean Penn as Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Except his forearms and biceps are much bigger. And he has enormous hands.

There’s a lot of gasping and grunting when Sinks and Lareau face off. Most of it comes from Lareau, who writhes, twining one of his legs around a table leg in a desperate scramble to force Sinks’ hand to the mat. Sinks doesn’t move much, except when he stops the bout to reposition Lareau’s elbow or give him pointers about hand and wrist positions.

A couple minutes into the struggle, one of Curavoo’s daughters yells downstairs that Sinks has a phone call. “I’m armwrestling now,” he answers politely. “Take a message, please.”

Ultimately, Lareau is no match for the highly ranked former national champ — Sinks took first in the nationals in 2000 and 2002. But the college student says that’s not just because Sinks is bigger. “He’s amazing at separating my arm from my body,” says Lareau, noting that you’re always stronger when your arm is close to your torso. “I was trying to use my shoulder to compensate,” he adds, “but I can only hold on for so long.”

Lareau has been armwrestling competitively for five years. “I beat a lot of people at cafeteria tables at lunch,” the Milton native says with a shrug. “People told me I should go to tournaments.” Sinks and Curavoo invited him to train after a tournament a little over a year ago.

Lareau reviews some armwrestling basics. For example, beginners might think the objective is simply to push the other person’s hand straight down.

But, says Lareau, that’s not how it should work. Ideally, you’re also pulling toward your body.

“They tell newcomers that you should imagine you’re holding a shot glass in your hand,” he says.

“If it’s your right hand, imagine you’re trying to put out a fire on your left shoulder.”

Lareau also demonstrates hooking — the act of turning your wrist while wrestling so that you’re facing your palm — and its opposite, called toprolling. Both strategies, if executed

f you’re talking banjo in the Green Mountains, the name Gordon Stone comes up fast. A born genre-hopper, he’s comfortable with styles ranging from country to world music. Since the mid’70s, Stone has plucked and strummed through countless groups, including ’grass greats Pine Island and Breakaway, newwave sensations The Decentz, and Afrofusion act Zzebra.

Going solo in the ’80s, he continued to explore, fusing traditional bluegrass with bebop, reggae and Latin music. By the end of the decade, his banjo prowess had attracted the attention of a young Mike Gordon, who approached him for lessons.

Gordon kept bugging Stone to check out his brand-new group, a little college act called Phish. Stone wasn’t too impressed at first, but he eventually contributed both banjo and pedal steel to two of the band’s most popular records.

Over four albums, Stone, now 55, has continued to push forward, challenging conceptions of the banjo’s role in contemporary music. His latest disc, Rhymes With Orange, finds him weaving through funk rhythms and exotic progressions with uncommon ease. Featuring the talents of 15-year-old fiddle prodigy Mike Barnett and the slick bass

bounce of Aram Bedrosian, the album is hardly old-fashioned. A CD release party is Friday at Nectar’s.

Stone recently took time to chat with Seven Days about Burlington, his trio and the new disc.

SEVEN DAYS: You’ve been playing in the Burlington area for quite some time. What was your first gig here?

GORDON STONE: Well, I started playing ski areas, actually. In Burlington, the first place was probably Tut’s, which was on North Street. That was a regular gig for Pine Island. We were the first band to ever play at Nectar’s, as well. Some of the guys in the band knew Nectar from when he had that food stand out on Route 2.

SD: How do you feel about the scene right now?

GS: It went through a lot of changes, but I tend to think about more of what it’s retained than what it’s lost. I see a lot of similarities between then and now. There’s still a lot of the same diversity. I moved away for a while and came back, but it seems like a lot of people do that. Coming back was really nice for me, for sure.

Friday Coffeeblogging It's a beautiful, sunny spring day, and I'm perched on the burgundy sofa in the back of the dimly lit Radio Bean Coffeehouse, wearing a pair of headphones (and posting via free wi-fi). I'm sitting in on a Friday Coffeeblogging podcast with Vermont bloggers Bill Simmon, NTodd Pritsky, Greg Giordano, aka flameape, Matt G. Paradise, and Jesse Krembs, aka Agent X. They've been meeting here every Friday afternoon for a month, recording their conversations and posting them on the internet.

Friday Coffeeblogging pretty much sounds like your average radio morning show...a radio show featuring incredibly geeky guys talking about RAM, early adopters, Star Wars, and the Fischer-Pry curve.

Typical banter: "That's nerdtastic, Todd." [read more online]

ARAM BEDROSIAN, GORDON STONE AND MIKE BARNETT

SD: You worked with Phish in the past and were Mike Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banjo teacher. Was it weird to watch them become rock stars?

GS: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about it with Mike, because I see him around and we hang out from time to time. I think he thought it was as strange as I did â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they had those expectations. It was just this phenomenon. And the music industry is crazy and fickle, and you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna happen from year to year. But they absolutely helped to get my name around. I recorded on a couple of their discs and played live with them a few times.

Around that same time, I was starting my own band with Jamie Masefield and Stacy Starkweather, and we definitely attracted a lot of Phishheads right off the bat.

SD: Bluegrass is perennial music, but its popularity tends to wax and wane. Why is it so hot right now?

GS: It comes and goes. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a pendulum; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no real rhyme or reason to it. It swings back and becomes popular for a while, then goes away.

When Pine Island started, it was really big â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there were three or four bluegrass bands in town that were working all the time.

Then in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, it was all but extinct. Nowadays, we get a mix of bluegrass fans and Phish fans at our shows, but I have an older following, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people that know me from the past.

SD: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re known for your banjo work, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a damn fine pedal steel player as well. Do you have a preference?

GS: Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m using pedal steel more now than I ever had, at least in my band. It fits the new sound that we have; on the funkier stuff, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice.

Banjo has been with me longer, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still been playing pedal steel for a long time.

SD: The latest incarnation of your band features some new blood. What do they bring to the table?

GS: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting. The slap bass and the funky fiddle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they lay down the rhythm section, so it can be really driving without drums. It gives me something really solid to work over. And even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both young and energetic, they have a maturity that allows them to listen when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re improvising. They play off what I do really well; I can set up a rhythm or melodic line, and they just pick it right up and jam with it in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more sophisticated than a lot of players.

SD: Your fiddler, Mike Barnett, is still in his teens.

Are his parents cool with him playing late-night gigs in bars?

GS: Yeah, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really good about it. He gets out of school on Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he lives in Longmeadow, Massachusetts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and hops on the bus and comes up for the weekends. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be up for weeks at a time in the summer, when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more work.

He already has his own disc out, you know. His parents took him to Nashville and hooked him up with those serious studio cats to make his album, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very enthusiastic about getting him going.

SD: You also play in Stone, Coane & Sacher, which is a more traditional bluegrass act. How do you balance the old-time stuff with your progressive side?

GS: Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all cool, really. I love playing the traditional stuff, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it as a steady diet. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so much creatively going on with my band right now. Live, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more of the unexpected, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun. But I was always doing that. When I started in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s, I was play-

ing jazz, following the lead of guys like Bill Keith and Tony Trischka. Even before BĂŠla Fleck came along, there were other players doing that kind of thing.

SD: Besides the lineup, what makes Rhymes With Orange different from your previous releases?

GS: First of all, there are only three players on it, and there are usually only those instruments playing, with minimal overdubs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than the other discs in that respect, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funkier.

It has more spontaneity to it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we rehearsed, learned the tunes in a couple of days, and then recorded. I wanted to get it all down quickly to give it that fresh feel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been a couple of months, and now we have a CD out.

And it is a little unusual to have just banjo, fiddle and bass.

Actually, there is one other band that does that, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming to the Jazz Festival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Trio, with Jean Luc Ponty, Stanley Clarke and BĂŠla. I thought that was kind of interesting that BĂŠlaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instrumentation is the same as what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing now.

SD: Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stumbled across a whole new sound â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the wave of the future.

GS: Yeah, maybe!

SD: Was your compositional approach different this time around?

GS: It kind of fell together, actually â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the tunes I was writing, and the way the guys were backing me up. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say there is a common thread; the sound developed as we were practicing and recording. For example, Aram was figuring, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to pretty much slap on everything.â&#x20AC;? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the song needs.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re my originals, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a band thing. 슞

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT Attention area youth: How many times have you heard the adults in your life stress the importance of a good education? They say that knowledge is power — well, why not power chords?

242 Main’s annual Vermont Rock Camp provides a forum for kids 12 through 18 to study the fundamentals of rock ’n’ roll with area professionals.

From theory and rhythm to arranging and performance, the program offers youngsters the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to compete in an increasingly unpredictable music biz. Taking place over two separate twoweek sessions in Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium this summer, the camp features workshops on topics such as digital audio recording, live sound reinforcement and business survival tips — very important stuff to know about.

Concert performances from community rock stars, as well as the opportunity to play in a band with styles ranging from punk rock to reggae, round out the experience. Oh, and some guy named Jon Fishman is scheduled to conduct one of the workshops.

To help get the ball rolling, organizers have put together a benefit concert that takes place at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Friday, May 13. Doesn’t that date just scream rock ’n’ roll? Featuring performances from Tammy Fletcher & the Disciples, Seth Yacovone, Stealing From Thieves and Caralina, as well as graduates from previous sessions, the show promises to be a blast for kids and parents alike.

The lineup for the benefit is pretty eclectic, reflecting the wide range of styles covered at the Camp. “Tammy teaches for us, and Seth did a workshop last year, so he was psyched to be involved,” says 242 Main honcho/guitarist/vocalist Richard Bailey. “My band Stealing From Thieves is playing, and Caralina were just interested in helping out any way they could.”

What better way to get an up-close look at the true rock lifestyle than a club concert? Kids, this could be your life. “It’s certainly part of the education,” says Bailey. “When the bands do the workshops, they talk about all sorts of stuff, and the lifestyle is one of them. But they also say, ‘Be careful — don’t get too caught up in it, or you won’t have a band anymore!’” Now that’s sound advice.

MUSICAL EXPANSION

CRESTON LEA, JAMES KOCHALKA, ERIC OLSEN

ALMOST FAMOUS James Kochalka has been calling himself a superstar for as long as I can remember. He’s one of the most celebrated authors on the indie comic scene, and his band has been bashing out left-of-center rock ’n’ roll in one form or another for more than a decade. This week’s release of Our Most Beloved on the famed Ryko label might make his celebrity fantasies a reality. Something of a “greatest hits” package, the disc contains 25 songs, most of which will already be familiar to JKS obsessives. But there’s still plenty for fans to get excited about: In addition to a few new audio recordings, the release boasts a DVD featuring five music videos, including the celebrated “Monkey vs. Robot” clip, and two ’toons that aired on the Nickelodeon network. A CD release party/birthday bash for Kochalka takes place on May 26, at 1/2 Lounge in Burlington.

Kochalka and company are already looking forward to the follow-up, which will feature all-new material. Says band member Creston Lea: “The epic rock record we recorded with Peter Katis [producer of certified superstars Interpol] called Spread Your Evil Wings and Fly is next in line, and I can’t wait!” With a title like that, neither can I. One of Lea’s several other gigs is with all-star covers act The Tuesday Band, for which he plays bass. Featuring guitarist/vocalist Neil Cleary, The Middle Eight’s David Stockhausen on drums, and Ryan Power on piano, the combo plays older tunes “with a decidedly WJOY tendency,” according to Lea. But even with all that talent, it’s been tough scaring up an audience. “We’ve quietly been playing every Tuesday at Radio Bean, but it’s pretty much been empty,” he says. I’m guessing the 10 p.m. time slot might have something to do with it. Still, if you’re loaded up on Bean caffeine, you might want to stick around a little longer: At 11 p.m., Cleary and local art nut Steve Tremblay provide comic voiceovers for WPTZ’s late news with Stephanie Gorin and Thom Hallock. Now there’s something to lose sleep over.

Local eatery Parima is one of the most elegant dining establishments in Burlington; a great place to enjoy some Thai cuisine and a couple of cocktails. It’s also a hot spot to hear some cool tunes — Pine Street Jazz’s Wednesday night sessions have become a midweek favorite. Now the restaurant is expanding its live entertainment to include Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with an emphasis on amorous tunes that might even aid digestion.

“Moonlight in Vermont” is a new romantic dinner experience on Thursday evenings. Local piano man Mitchell Zlokower and a bevy of guests will provide classic jazz standards and love songs, including classics by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.

Mitch will also take requests from his repertoire of songs from jazz’s golden era. If he’s got the night off — as he does this week — look for sets from area notables such as George Voland, Tom Cleary or Amber DeLaurentis.

Friday and Saturday nights are a bit spicier, with music ranging from Latin jazz to Flamenco. Local favorites Madera, Andric Severance, Matt Wright and Jenni Johnson are slated to appear. Parima encourages reservations on evenings that feature music with dinner — call 864-7917.

AND THE WINNER IS… Recently I reported that local music vets Brett Hughes and Gordon Stone — who’s an interview subject in this week’s issue — had been nominated for a New England Emmy Award for their soundtrack work to Jay Craven’s “Windy Acres” sitcom. The award ceremony took place in Boston last Saturday, and guess what? Our boys won the Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition Award! “It was surreal,” Stone says of the ceremony. “It’s a surprise, for one thing — it happens really suddenly. They have this giant PA and the soundtrack comes up really loud, and then the spotlight hits you.” No wonder winners look slightly dazed when they get to the podium — they’re probably temporarily blinded.

Stone was flying solo at the event, but he brought back Hughes’ award for him — a pretty cool surprise. “I guess if I’m going to have that statuette thing around, I’d better clean my house,” says Hughes. Maybe with his celebrity status, he can find someone to do it for him.

Congratulations to both gents on their achievement.

reviewthis JAZZ MANDOLIN PROJECT, THE DEEP FORBIDDEN LAKE

MANIFEST NEXTO ME, FOREVER FROM NOW ON (Self-released, CD)

(Lenapee Records, CD) Vermont’s mandolin prince Jamie Masefield plays his heart out on Jazz Mandolin Project’s sixth release, The Deep Forbidden Lake. There’s plenty of radiant music to be found in this collection of 12 instrumental covers; the disc is like a grand tour of leader Masefield’s favorite melodies. With the help of keyboardist Gil Goldstein and upright bassist Greg Cohen, he expertly voices each tune.

Unhurried and lush, the record is not one bit “jammy” or meandering. Each piece is succinct, reverent and beautifully played. The luxurious bossa nova re-imagining of Neil Young’s “Winterlong” starts things off wonderfully. Masefield’s mandolin and Goldstein’s piano trade lines on Billy Strayhorn’s “My Little Brown Book,” which paints pictures of late nights in a posh New York City bar. Cohen provides a solid bass foundation throughout, making the tunes growl or thump as needed. He’s got a rare sense of depth and space; you definitely feel his presence, but he never tries to take over.

The trio seems obsessed with pairs: They perform two Young numbers, two Django Reinhardt compositions, two Tom Waits classics and two Radiohead tunes — including a hauntingly beautiful reading of “I Will,” which sounds a little like an outtake from the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack. Masefield deserves special credit for his work on the Reinhardt pieces; he really makes Django’s fiery leads ring.

Goldstein’s accordion playing on the title track is soft and churchy, like an old pump organ.

But JMP can also bop with the best of ’em — Ornette Coleman’s “When Will the Blues Leave?” wraps up the disc with some amazing interplay between Masefield and Goldstein. Toy piano intersects with vibrant mandolin in a powerful album highlight.

The musical range of these three talents is impressive, as is Masefield’s seamless weaving of such a wide variety of styles. Deep Forbidden Lake is another fine addition to JMP’s growing body of work, and further proof that mandolin mastery doesn’t begin or end with Bill Monroe, Mike Marshall and David Grisman.

Dense, dank and ready to invade your speakers, Winooski’s Manifest Nexto Me’s sophomore release Forever From Now On delivers on the band’s newfound live power. Somewhere between hip-hop, Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis and rock, Manifest crisscross musical genres with conviction and authority. Once tagged as a hippie-ish jazz-hop act, the band is finally revealing its true nature.

Fronted by vocalist/Rhodes pianist Christopher Lee Kipper and vocalist/keyboardist Michael Angelo Morelli, Manifest are like a psychedelic urban nightmare in a sleepy rural state. Smart lyrics, sheets of sound and a bounding rhythm section separate the group from conventional hip-hoppers and chops-obsessed fusion acts.

There’s a palpable melancholy in their music, and Forever From Now On sounds anything but sunny.

“Everything you touch leaves a scar on your soul,” Kipper and Morelli chant over the devilish soundscapes of “Shadows Below.” Bassist William Leber Schebaum lays down a monster groove that’s somewhere between the dark dub of Massive Attack and stoner-rock. Drummer P.J. Davidian — recently replaced by ex-Concentric skinsman Tobias Rower — performs admirably on this disc.

There are some terrific guest appearances as well.

Alen Cileli — Deep’s Soda’s freakazoid guitarist — contributes sinister yet melodic violin lines, while Daniel Delacruz of reggae renegades John Brown’s Body blows some heady saxophone. Vocalist Miriam Bernardo offers her sultry voice to a couple of tunes, including the interestingly named “Mystic Moth.”

The Middle Eastern-flavored track “The Fountain” uncoils like a serpent, twisting and turning around Schebaum’s bass line and Cileli’s violin figure. Musically it’s dark stuff, but Kipper and Morelli’s lyrics are often quite uplifting — spiritual clarity in a world of corruption is the record’s prominent theme. Both vocalists possess their own unique flair; Kipper’s chant-raps are well balanced by Morelli’s more traditional rhyme style.

I was psyched when I heard that Rower was going to occupy the drum stool. Davidian is a fine percussionist, but he seems rooted in jam/fusion. Rower — known for his biomechanical beats and metronomic discipline — is sure to further tighten their sound. I can’t wait to hear him on the next release.

I like to think of this record as Manifest Nexto Me’s true debut. Progression is sometimes difficult to chart in local music, but this group has seriously evolved. Loaded with impressive twists and turns, Forever From Now On is a victory for the band and a reward for their growing fan base.

Through May.

ARTWORK “Blue Pocket”

by Mary Beth Morrisseau

PHOTO Marc Awodey

diverse trio of Vermont artists shares Burlington’s Flynndog this month.

Figurative sculpture by Robert Birbeck, gutsy non-objective abstraction from Mary Beth Morrisseau and spiritually endowed iconic paintings

by Susan Smereka are under the same high roof. The two-dimensional shows have titles; the third is simply called “Robert Birbeck’s Limestone Sculptures.”

Birbeck’s nine figurative sculptures are chunky yet graceful female nudes in the tradition of Henri Matisse.

While Matisse is best known for his drawing and painting, his sculptural works are an important resource as well. Birbeck’s “The Three Graces” is a bas-relief of three nudes, each a tad heftier than the ladies in Matisse’s reliefs. The figures here are in frontal, back and right profile poses within the irregular edges of the stone. With its background accented by chisel marks, “The Three Graces” has understated elegance.

“Pensive” and “Reclining Nude” are beautifully composed in-the-round works. Their smooth surfaces are contoured with curves and voluminous ovoid planes. Birbeck sees the inherent soft-edged geometry of human forms; he presents that softness with simple interlocking shapes and graceful proportions.

Morrisseau aptly titled her multimedia exhibition “Colorful Personalities.” Four pieces are oil on metal, 15 are monoprints, and 34 are acrylic paintings on canvas. Her paintings on metal have varied surfaces, from pitted to impasto. “Clouds Unfolding Color” is a vertical crimson image on a black background. Hints of cerulean blue appear along the lower left edge.

Among Morrisseau’s monoprints on paper are two dynamic, nonobjec-

Tactile textures are buried within the lush color fields of Morrisseau’s paintings. tive cauldrons of color: “Nine” is rich with pale greens and lavender; “The Presence of Me” contains circles interwoven with the print’s textures.

Tactile textures are buried within the lush color fields of Morrisseau’s paintings. Two pairs of squares probably represent the title shapes of the stormy red “2 Doors,” but other invisible squares, perhaps built up with modeling paste, ripple over the painting’s surface.

“Reaching In” is a vertical 30-by24-inch work with horizontal ridges beneath mossy, scumbled greens. An opaque line of alizarin crimson falls from the top edge of the canvas into a reservoir of the same color at the central focal point. Smears of red also lurk along the edges of the canvas.

The 30-by-40-inch “Walking Into Astonished” has many similarities, except the central line is a pale green.

Horizontal ridges also solidify the under painting of “Strength of Character,” one of the largest of Morrisseau’s paintings here. Though less textural, “Blue Pocket” is the most memorable, for its dark patches that seem like islands in an azure ocean. A few passages of bright, hot red and yellow appear in the lower third of the composition, contrasting the coolness of the blues. The use of cooler colors in the center and warmer ones close to the boundaries — or vice versa — is a subtle recurring theme in Morrisseau’s works.

Smereka’s show is entitled “New Studio, New Work,” and includes more than a dozen of her most recent paintings on paper and panel. Many feature mandala-like forms surrounded by mysterious dots; her works are infused with metaphysical content.

Space is generally flat in Smereka’s paintings, and her images seem more referential than narrative.

Unfortunately, all but one of Smereka’s works are hung inside the Flynndog office, and while they were on display during last Friday’s reception, the office will be closed until May 18. Her work is certainly worth visiting later in the month. For that matter, all three of these collections deserve a second — or third — look. m

Nothing Like Dreaming HHHH

N FIRE MAN A stranger comes to the aid of a troubled teenager in the new film from Nora Jacobson.

Nothing Like Dreaming opens at the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts in Burlington on Friday, May 13, and plays through Thursday, May 19.

Screenings are on the second floor nightly at 7:30 p.m. Matinees are Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m.

orwich filmmaker Nora Jacobson’s second dramatic feature was shot in and around Montpelier, but is set in that teenage wasteland between youth and adulthood.

Middlebury College grad Morgan Bicknell stars as Emma Ericksen, a young woman who’s been accepted by Yale and seems poised to escape the limitations of small-town life when tragedy intervenes and threatens to hurl her off course.

The daughter of a doting state senator (John Griesemer) and a folk singer struggling with depression (Rachel Bissex), Emma has a day job in the cafeteria at the capitol building, but spends her nights the way young people with nothing better to do tend to spend them. In an early scene, she and her friends call their parents to say they’ll be staying over at one another’s homes. The truth is, they plan to stay out all night partying in an abandoned industrial lot.

Some drink, some smoke, some make out in cars.

Bicknell’s character doesn’t come to get away with something her parents wouldn’t allow. She comes to get together with her best friend, Lara (Siri Baruc), an aspiring dancer. Each is deliriously happy that the other will soon have an opportunity to pursue her dreams.

Unfortunately, the local police spend their nights the way law enforcement officials with nothing better to do tend to spend them, namely, busting up young people’s parties. Emma is left behind as her friends scramble into cars and speed away. Walking home in the early morning, she arrives at the scene of an accident and is devastated to discover that the lifeless body behind the wheel of a mangled auto is Lara’s.

One of several themes Jacobson’s script addresses is the psychic toll loss can take, especially when laced with guilt (Emma had promised her friend’s parents that she would do the driving). George Woodard costars in the role of Sonny Gale, an indigent man who hears voices and has an obsession with fire. He has a defining tragedy in his past as well. When the young woman revisits the scene of the fateful gathering, she finds Sonny scavenging for scrap metal on the site.

Gale may be jobless and uneducated, but he has a PhD in loss, and instantly recognizes that Emma is a kindred soul. The two develop an unlikely friendship and, before

she knows it, he’s recruited her into working with him on a remarkable project: the construction of a giant fire organ.

Jacobson uses fire here as a spiritual metaphor. To Emma’s parents it represents danger. Her father, in fact, uses his influence to remove Gale from his daughter’s life.

To the young woman the flames take on a mystical, primordial significance; they’re a manifestation of the life force. To Gale they seem emblematic of human consciousness, something which he knows only too well can get out of control, but is also the source of transforming beauty.

Together they erect a towering and fantastic structure with salvaged beams and metal pipes. Designed by the French inventor Michel Moglia, the world’s foremost creator of pyrophones, the movie’s fire organ is as much a piece of sculpture as a musical instrument. The story moves toward the climactic night when Sonny and Emma light acetylene torches and feed flames into it for the first time. The result is eerily beautiful and brings catharsis and healing to the young woman, surrounded by her friends.

Unfortunately, it also brings another visit from the police, who, thanks to the senator, arrive with the paperwork they need to lock Sonny up and force feed him the mind-control meds he’d rather die than take.

Nothing Like Dreaming gives the viewer plenty to think about in the course of its 94 minutes. The film asks provocative questions about the nature of consciousness and the act of creation. It takes a heartfelt stand against society’s rush to judgment — and medication — of the mentally ill. It offers characterizations of impressive depth and complexity. I was particularly affected by the way Jacobson turned a police officer into one of the movie’s most insightful, feeling figures.

The picture’s emotional punch is every bit as powerful as its intellectual one, too. It’s touching to watch the bond between Emma and Sonny take shape. And no one who knew the late Burlington folk singer Rachel Bissex or her work will walk away unmoved by her honest, raw performance — and simply by seeing her up on the screen.

Nora Jacobson made her latest feature for about $40,000. With so much truth and beauty available at that price, it makes you wonder what Hollywood directors are blowing all those millions on. m

SEVEN DAYS THE CABINET OF DOCTOR CALIGARI

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Short Takes

“Das Panik Factory” began as an improvisational lark when Jake Pirkkanen and his crew wanted to ditch a boring assignment. fifth annual festival of shorts. For the first time, the event is being held at Higher Ground in South Burlington.

“We always do this at the end of spring semester,” Bookchin notes.

“It’s a roundup of approximately 20 narrative, experimental and flash-animation productions shot in digital video and 16mm formats.”

Flash animation is “a fusion of hand-done and computer imagery,” he explains, adding that the process is “tedious and time-consuming.”

“You feed the computer a drawing,” says Jack Austin, the school’s development officer.

The free showcase of shorts includes “The Mind’s Eye,” a coming-of-age saga by Matthew Walters about two brothers who grow up in an orphanage; and “Sushi,” Rebecca Heller’s cinematic tale of sexual awakening.

“This event appeals to younger people,” Bookchin surmises. Old fogies, however, will not be turned away.

A teenager in turmoil is the focus of Nothing Like Dreaming, Nora Jacobson’s feature-length drama that begins a one-week run this Friday at the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts in downtown Burlington.

It’s a fitting venue for the film, in which the girl befriends a troubled older man who’s building an enormous fire organ with titanium, stainless steel and glass pipes. Jacobson commissioned a real-life French artist, Michel Moglia, to create the installation that appears in the movie. After she translated the screenplay into French for him, he came to Vermont in 2001 to make the “instrument,” which sounds a bit like a soulful foghorn with a hint of bagpipes.

Jacobson’s sister Antoinette has since created a portable version that she’ll play outside the Firehouse at 7 p.m. on opening night.

Dreaming will also tour Vergennes, Randolph, Woodstock and Stowe, as well as New Hampshire and Massachusetts. “We’re putting in

place a distribution strategy for the rest of New England and the country for the summer, fall and winter,” Jacobson says. She hopes to then find art-house bookings in major markets such as New York and Los Angeles before securing a television deal for the picture.

“I don’t know if it’s a model that can work, but I am going to try,” Jacobson vows. “It’s also fun to be on the road and see lots of audiences respond.”

Meanwhile, Jacobson and Burlington-based filmmaker Allan Nichols are collaborating with playwright Steve Goldberg, who’s at work on an autobiographical script about mourning the recent death of his wife, folksinger Rachel Bissex. She was a star of Nothing Like Dreaming, which screens at the Firehouse through May 19 at 7:30 p.m. nightly and 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

At 17, Jake Pirkkanen knows precisely what he wants to do in life: make movies. Dreams are apparently coming true for this Salisbury boy, who was in third or fourth grade when he first dabbled in the medium with an old VHS camera found in the attic.

Now a senior at Middlebury Union High School’s Career Center, Pirkkanen is thrilled that his fiveminute “Das Panik Factory” will

play on May 14 at the Westport Youth Film Festival in Connecticut.

The plot concerns “a kid searching for his parents and running into all these crazy people,” he says.

That description doesn’t convey the piece’s stylized approach, an exercise in early 20th-century German Expressionism. Think Nosferatu or The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. “I used surreal angles and sharp contrasts,” explains Pirkkanen, whose paternal grandparents hailed from Finland.

“Panik Factory” was shot on digital video at Lyndon Institute last summer during the two-week Fledgling Films program, in which he has participated for three successive years. It began as an improvisational lark when Pirkkanen and his crew wanted to ditch a boring assignment. Back home, he re-edited the footage to capture the look of vintage 16mm stock.

Such technical wizardry also comes courtesy of the Career Center, where Pirkkanen’s days are evenly divided between courses in film production and acting. He and pal Gavin VonKarls — his “Panik Factory” cinematographer — will head to Maine this fall. Both were accepted by the Rockport College Film School.

“It’s everything I always wanted,” Pirkkanen says of his good fortune.

Could be the legendary luck of the Finnish. m

KNIT HAPPENS

Working with worsted is cool again. One in three women in North America, and several progressive-minded men, now knit or crochet. Canadian comedienne Stephanie PearlMcPhee, a self-described “yarn harlot,” has been chronicling the return of needle-based crafting on her blog — http://www.yarnhar lot.ca — for more than a year. Now the Toronto-based ball-winder breaks out of the box-stitch with a book, At Knit’s End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much.

Wool-gatherers listen in as Pearl-McPhee reads from her book and offers some knitting words.

STEPHANIE PEARL-MCPHEE Thursday, May 12, Kaleidoscope Yarns, Essex Junction, 3-6 p.m. Free. Info, 288-9200.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@KENTUCKY DERBY PARTY ZOE’S TACK ROOM AND CAFÉ, CHARLOTTE, SATURDAY MAY 7, 2-6 P.M. Derby parties are as much a rite of spring as the big horse race itself. Zoe Williams hosted a relaxed gathering last Saturday afternoon at her newly renovated Charlotte barn — no fussy flower-bedecked hats required. Friends and customers trickled in as post time neared to trade horse stories, sip mint juleps and watch the Derby projected on the wide expanse of wall that served as a screen.

The gray barn, built in the 1920s, looks nondescript from the outside. But the inside was spectacularly re-imagined — pale bamboo floors, deep rose and lavender walls, unusual tile work and floral stained-glass windows — to serve multiple purposes: selling “tack” (horse gear), serving light food, and entertaining. Party guests browsed the merchandise. Exotic to the nonhorseperson were the equine muesli snacks, fitted bug-proof head coverings, pink quilted saddle blankets, and esoteric aromatherapy products. Was the Harvest Apple Revitalizing Body Tonic meant for man or beast? (Answer: beast.)

The barn’s re-modeler, Bill Logan, was also the event’s BYO mint julep mix-master. The fact that he was serving the concoction of sugar, mint, bourbon and crushed ice in glasses and plastic cups instead of the traditional pewter mugs probably had his Southern grandfather “spinning in his grave,” he said. But the leached lead in pewter might explain some quirky Southern behavior, guests speculated. “Know many people from Kentucky?” Logan deadpanned.

Conversation centered on how people were connected to horses: owner, breeder, occasional rider, parent of a rider, or deprived child of suburbia limited to a few tourist trail rides. There was little discussion about the race, except a general agreement that nobody wanted George Steinbrenner’s horse to win.

By post time, about 15 adults and kids had gathered in the barn’s loft. On the large Persian carpet in front of the cozy leather sofas, Zoe’s 20-month-old son Oscar loped a few furlongs around an imaginary oval. And then the Derby was over in a flash. A 50-1 long-shot won. NBC’s camera caught the ungracious reactions of a losing owner’s family. “Now that was worth the whole thing,” one guest said with a big smile.

SHADOW BOXING

Those who think that gamelan ensembles are exclusively Indonesian imports might be surprised to learn that Vermont’s had its own version for well over two decades. Plainfield’s percussive panoply of resonating metal bars and gongs was first assembled by multi-instrumentalist David Murphy, a composer and longtime town resident, and one of the fathers of American gamelan music. In a rare performance this week, the ensemble accompanies Javanese-style shadow puppet theater. Jerrie Nash of Marshfield superintends the staging of The Importance of Being Eastern, her humorous myth about ancient Indonesians encountering Abenaki chieftains and animals. “It’s a family affair, an entertaining show for all ages,” says Nash. Without a shadow of a doubt.

‘THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EASTERN’ Saturday, May 14, Cabot Public Library, 7:30 p.m. Free. Info, 563-2721.

TAYLOR MADE

music

Paul Taylor is a pillar of 20th-century choreography. Now 74 years old, he has created more than 90 works, several of which are in the permanent repertoires of dance companies around the world. His style celebrates vigor, strength and athleticism, and he’s perceived as a quintessentially American choreographer because of it. Taylor’s troupe celebrates its 50th anniversary by touring all 50 states. It closes the Flynn’s 20042005 season with a trio of works: the carefree and breezy Offenbach Overtures, the energetic Promethian Fire and the softly lit romantic entanglements of Eventide. A perfect fit.

PIPING HOT

Vermont’s climate isn’t exactly toasty. But the flame of inspiration burns rather literally in Nothing Like Dreaming, a recent film by Norwich-based writer-director Nora Jacobson. Shot in Montpelier with a cast of local luminaries, the movie follows a troubled teenaged girl and a reclusive sculptor-musician who build a “fire organ” from scrap metal. (A propane torch held to the pyrophone’s pipes produces haunting tones.) Jacobson’s opus lights up the Firehouse all week, and each screening includes a Q&A with Jacobson and special guests. Friday night features a fire-organ demo, and a post-show live-music tribute to the late singer-songwriter Rachel Bissex, who played a key role in the movie.

MAY 12-18

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): For all I know, you may someday author a book called How to Attract Your Very Own Millionaire Spirit Guide. If you do, you will begin writing it during an astrological phase much like the one you’re in now. In fact, it could even be this week. You’re more aligned with the cosmic cash flow than you have been in a long time; you’re more likely than usual to stumble upon dumb financial luck and generate money mojo. See if you can hear the whispers of that millionaire spirit guide as you fall asleep tonight.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Christians in Denmark celebrate communion the way it’s done in many other places: They eat a flat, tasteless wafer that symbolizes the body of Christ.

Soon that may change, however. Some of the nation’s best bakers have embarked on a campaign to whip up more delectable versions of the traditional host. This developing story reminds me of your current state, Taurus. It’s a perfect moment for you to spice up a bland ritual, to get more thrills from a duty you regard as important, or to add variety to a sacred task you’ve done the same way for a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Larry Colvin, a prisoner in North Carolina’s Buncombe Correctional Center, was scheduled to finish his four-month sentence last March 16. But just a few hours before his official release, he escaped.

There’s no word yet on whether he has been recaptured, but you can bet that when he is, the legal system will return him to jail for more than a few hours. Let this serve as a model for what not to do, Gemini. It would be crazy for you to try to wiggle out of your ongoing ordeal now that you’re so close to its end. Endure the remaining time with poise and patience, studying its lessons until the lessons are truly done. It’ll all be over soon.

want to be when you grow up? Are you prepared to start nurturing yourself as well as you nurture others? When will you dismantle the barriers within you that prevent those who love you from loving you with all their power? Are you finally ready to act on the understanding that home is not just a building, but a state of mind, and that you need to work harder to foster that state?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Our goal is to rouse you out of your rut by any means necessary. I think the best way to do that is by stirring up a lot of wicked fun. It’s certainly far superior to waiting around for a stroke of fate to kick your ass. So please undertake an aggressive plan that includes activities like these: Put on an inflatable sumo wrestler costume and play a bagpipe as badly as possible; write a love letter to your evil twin; see how far you can spit a mouthful of expensive wine; mix stripes with plaids, cashmere with polyester and yellowish-green with reddishpurple; organize a party in which you and your friends act out scenes from your favorite TV show; make believe you are the ocean king or thunder queen; meditate naked under a waterfall.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As public schools decline and private schools become more expensive, increasing numbers of parents are homeschooling their children. I predict that an analogous phenomenon will arise among religious groups. Called the “homechurch” movement by Christians, “homesynagogue” by Jews and “hometemple” by other traditions, it will consist of people creating altars and conducting worship sessions in their own abodes. Seekers pursuing this approach will eliminate the middlemen and serve as their own priests, priestesses and rabbis.

If you have even the slightest attraction to this meme, Virgo, launch your own version of it. It’s time to crank up your spiritual intentions. The Divine Wow wants to talk.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): It’s the Fertile Inquiry time of year for you, Cancerian. The more questions you ask yourself, the better you’ll feel. Here are a few to get you started. What do you

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): [Caution: Information in this horoscope contains references to exotic sexual practices. If you might be offended, stop reading now. I present this material because you are in a heightened state of arousal, both physically and metaphysically, and could benefit from outrageous provocations as you rethink your approach to intimate acts of love.]

The ladybird beetle copulates for up to nine hours at a time, and males may have three 90-minute orgasms in one session. Bonobo apes are not obsessed with orgasm, but have frequent erotic exchanges of every variety, from intercourse to mutual masturbation to oral sex; homosexual contact is common. The male sponge louse disguises himself as a female to aid his seduction strategies.

As soon as praying mantises begin coitus, the female bites off the male’s head and eats it; sex continues, however. The slime mold comes in 500 genders, and at least 13 of these have to collaborate in order to have a successful mating session.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Would you like to transform yourself from being a slave of your desires into being a master? It’s a perfect time to work on that worthy project. Here’s what you should do: 1. Keep talking yourself out of being attached to trivial goals and keep talking yourself into being thrilled about the precious few goals that are really important. 2. Whenever you are overwhelmed by a desperate longing to be loved, transform the feeling into a fierce determination to give love lavishly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your fellow Sagittarius Ludwig van Beethoven created sublime music under trying conditions.

He was often in poor health, struggled financially, never found love, suffered from depression, and became deaf, yet somehow became one of the greatest composers in history. As you finish up this arduous phase of your own cycle, he’s your official role model. Let him inspire you to produce small miracles even in the face of puzzling difficulties. If necessary, resort to what Beethoven often did to stimulate his creativity: Pour a bucket

of ice water over your head. It might also help to know that Goethe described our hero as “completely untamed.” Do you think that quality had something to do with his high level of attainment?

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Scientists believe that sooner or later they will figure out why cancer cells are virtually immortal, and then apply that understanding to keeping normal cells alive much longer, thereby dramatically extending the human life span. I believe you have an analogous opportunity right now, Capricorn: If you decode the success formula of a nemesis, you will give yourself a tremendous boon that will boost your vitality and expressiveness.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): For one week, Aquarius, consider suspending your fascination with the shock of the new. Instead, steep yourself in the subtle teachings of the old. Seek out elders who haven’t lost their spark and ask them humble questions about your most enduring mysteries. Read books and listen to music and watch movies whose creators have been dead for at least 50 years. Muse about what you were doing in mid-May of 1993. Make a shrine on which you put an image of an ancestor, a leaf from a tree that began growing before you were born, and a symbol of a goal you gave up long ago.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): One of the world’s longest streets is Figueroa Street in Los Angeles. It runs 30 miles. In contrast, Bridge Street, a lane near my house, is about 50 yards long and connects two lengthy roads to each other. The path you’re on right now, Pisces, has a metaphorical resemblance to Bridge Street. Your time on it will be brief, and it will serve as a bridge between two phases of your life story.

Soon you’ll turn onto a longer thoroughfare more like Figueroa. In the meantime, pay maximum attention to the sights and sounds. This leg of your journey will be short, but it will reveal clues that will be essential as you shift gears.

Dear Lola, Your advice to Perplexed in Plattsburgh, the person who overheard a coworker telling someone that a mutual acquaintance’s boyfriend was cheating on her, was way off base. You told the letter writer to butt out.

If someone heard something about my boyfriend, I sure as shootin’ would want to know. If I can’t count on friends to keep me apprised of any pertinent information they might gather, who can I count on?

Buttinski in Burlington Dear Buttinski, Makes sense to me. But before rushing off to deliver my bad news, I’d take a moment to mull over my motives. Am I sincerely concerned about my friend’s well being, or am I craving the thrill of inserting myself into someone else’s story — and the sense of importance I’d accrue from being among the first to know the next chapter? One way to test this would be by imagining how I’d feel if my friend got tipped off by someone other than me. And if I did decide to go ahead and spill the beans, it would be important to stick to the facts — what I heard, how and from whom. It would be up to my friend to take it from there.

Love, Lola

Hi! I'm Sadie and it is ladies' choice… I am a beautiful 5- to 6-year old female Husky with only one eye. I came to HSCC because my family was moving and didn't take me. If I were a human, I just might be a purple-heart-wearing kind of older lady! I am full of personality and full of myself. I was kept outside much of the time and I am looking forward to getting to know the comforts of home. I have had little training, but I am smart and sharp and would enjoy learning more through reward-based methods. I am pretty playful with toys by myself and in time would like to learn how to play with my new humans. I am an affectionate, demanding, social, energetic, and attentive girl looking for a family with adults only or kids 13 and up to love. Can you give me another chance and show me the good life? Visit me at HSCC, Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm at 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington. 862.0135.
